SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an effort to bring new technology and investing capabilities to small businesses Ubiquity Retirement + Savings® (Ubiquity), announces its partnership with DriveWealth – which provides businesses with the power of fractional share trading to retirement plan participants – a first among small business 401(k) providers.
“We began pioneering the small business 401(k) space 24 years ago and with this latest innovation, we believe technology has the power to open new doors for retirement savers,” said Chad Parks, Founder + CEO of Ubiquity, a financial technology pioneer in small business retirement offerings. “Through this partnership with DriveWealth, we are able to provide small business owners and their employees with investment options that will democratize investing and allow more freedom and choice in a user-friendly way that has never before been seen in a 401(k) plan, while still providing the ability to have an extremely well diversified portfolio.”

“This Ubiquity and DriveWealth partnership is redefining how people can consume and engage within their 401(k) account,” said Stan Smith, Managing Director of DriveWealth. “Making available real time instruments with fractional share trading within a fully disclosed account is a unique differentiator for advisors, employers and participants alike.”
The new offering adds to the more than 30,000 mutual funds and ETFs that Ubiquity’s small business clients already have access to.
“By continuing to expand investment options and choice, we’re providing our clients and partners with the products, services and tools they desire to meet their retirement savings needs today and in the future,” said John Farmakis, SVP of Business Development at Ubiquity.
