    Most clients don’t know they’re making costly mistakes in their 401(k)s because no one is telling them 🤐 According to the Pontera 401(k) survey: ➡️ 87% of Americans face at least one challenge when selecting investment options, and 66% have faced at least two. ➡️ 74% of participants didn’t know the correct age for catch-up contributions. ➡️ 40% said they rarely or never adjust their 401(k) allocations, even as their financial situations change. The problem is that 401(k)s often fall outside an advisor’s direct management. Advisors don’t always have the tools to oversee them, which leaves clients to make major financial decisions on their own: choosing the wrong funds, taking on unnecessary risk, or missing out on employer match benefits. With Pontera, advisors can securely and compliantly manage 401(k)s to give them the confidence and oversight they need to provide a holistic portfolio strategy.

  • As a financial advisor, your time is valuable 💯 Between balancing clients' needs, managing portfolios, and staying ahead of market trends, it can feel like there’s never enough time in the day. With the right tools, managing retirement accounts and investments can be simpler and more efficient. Pontera does just that by seamlessly integrating retirement accounts into your broader investment strategies, allowing you to manage everything in one place. By streamlining the management of all your clients' accounts, you can offer advice based on a complete picture of their financial situation. Pontera saves you time and helps you build stronger, more trusting relationships with your clients 🙌

  • There is a growing demand for 401(k) guidance: ✅ 61% of retirement savers now say they need professional advice—up from 55% last year. ✅ 55% say they’d feel very confident about their retirement goals if they had an advisor—up from 49%. And with workers expecting 43% of their retirement income to come from their 401(k)s (a jump from 40% last year), the stakes are even higher. But the challenge is that most people don’t know how to optimize their 401(k)s. Plan providers offer some tools, but that doesn’t replace expert guidance. That’s where financial advisors make a difference. Research shows that clients who work with advisors can see up to 4% higher annual net returns than those who are managing their accounts on their own. The Pontera platform allows advisors to bridge this gap so they can manage client 401(k)s with the same care as other investments.

  • “Pontera really helps us work towards our goal of being the most trusted in financial advice.”  - Lawrence Sprung, CFP®, CEO, Mitlin Financial, Inc® At Mitlin Financial, providing personalized advice and guidance to the families that they serve is their top priority. But helping clients with held-away assets—like 401(k)s—was a manual, labor-intensive process. That changed when they became a Carson partner and were introduced to Pontera. For the first time, they could securely and compliantly manage their clients’ 401(k)s and offer direct guidance while maintaining full transparency. It was nothing they’d seen before. With Pontera, Mitlin Financial can confidently provide better service to the families they serve by giving them a clear picture of their financial situation.
