Putting a Little PEP in a 401k Retirement Plan

Set against the backdrop of the continuing wave of ERISA litigation that is being brought against employers who sponsor retirement plans, Pooled Employer Plans ("PEPs") are emerging in the marketplace as an alternative that may limit employers' risk of retirement plan-related litigation. There have been over 220 ERISA class action suits filed in connection with retirement plans since 2018, and the top ten ERISA settlements for 2021 alone totaled $840 million in the aggregate. Since ERISA litigation is a serious and relevant concern, many plan sponsors, including private equity sponsors and their portfolio companies, would benefit from evaluating whether a PEP is a viable retirement plan solution for them.

IRS Issues Proposed MEP Rule

The IRS has released a new proposed rule providing for an exception, if certain requirements are met, to the application of the "unified plan rule" for multiple employer plans when there is a failure by one or more participating employers to take actions necessary to satisfy requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The unified plan rule specifies that the failure by one participating employer to satisfy an applicable qualification requirement would result in the disqualification of the MEP for all employers maintaining the plan.

Pros and Cons of Pooled Employer Plans

The SECURE Act created a new type of defined contribution multiple employer plan, the pooled employer plan. Unlike previous versions of multiple employer plans, it need not be limited to employers sharing a nexus or interest or located in the same geographical area. Moreover, the plan as a whole is protected from disqualification due to the non-compliance of a participating employer, as long as the plan provides a mechanism for expelling a chronically non-compliant employer and holding such employer responsible for its noncompliance. As a result, pooled employer plans may be an attractive option for some employers.

PEPs Are Here. But How Successful Will They Be?

The case for pooled employer plans is compelling, especially to address the fact that there are 5 million to 6 million companies in the U.S. and just 650,000 DC plans. But as we wait for the DC market to adopt PEPs, the results so far have been muted. A few vendors have applied to be pooled plan providers, but not in the numbers many predicted.

Will PEPs Address the Retirement Plan Woes of Small Employers?

One downfall of our retirement saving system is the cost and quality of the plan that you have access to can be significantly dependent on the size of your employer. Small employers have fewer employees to join their plans and generally fewer collective assets to invest, resulting in limited bargaining power to negotiate low fees and barriers to accessing low-cost investment options that may have higher minimum investments. As the debut of pooled employer plans draws near, the current MEP system provides a useful test case for what can go right and wrong.
