NEW YORK & OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pontera, the Fintech company that creates a bridge to a better retirement by allowing financial advisors to trade and manage retirement assets in a secure and compliant manner, today announced a partnership with Prime Capital Investment Advisors (PCIA). This partnership will enable PCIA’s 120 advisors to securely manage clients’ retirement accounts without assuming custody.
“Held away accounts, including 401(k)s, are the primary means of retirement savings for many Americans,” said Dave Goldman, Pontera’s Chief Business Officer. “Individuals concerned about their retirement are seeking financial advice on these assets at historic levels. Through this partnership, PCIA’s advisors can now securely manage clients’ retirement accounts and provide truly comprehensive wealth management.”
According to a 2021 Schwab 401(k) study, 61% of participants believe their financial situation warrants advice on retirement planning. This figure has increased from 50% of participants in 2020. More than one third of those respondents want advice on how to invest a 401(k).
“Advisors have typically shied away from managing held away assets, due to the limited options to do so securely and compliantly,” said Glenn Spencer, CEO of Prime Capital Investment Advisors. “Through our partnership with Pontera, PCIA’s advisors will now be able to integrate clients’ retirement accounts into a comprehensive wealth management plan.”
