Chicago, IL (Feb. 7, 2022) — The ABA Retirement Funds (“ABA RF”), sponsor of the ABA Retirement Funds Program (the “Program”), announced today the selection of NPPG Fiduciary Services, LLC (“NPPG”) to serve as a preferred provider of ERISA 3(16) Plan Administrator services to Program plan sponsors who opt to use these services for a fee. This selection of NPPG emphasizes the ABA RF’s commitment to broaden the availability of Program’s services in order to provide Program plan sponsors with the option of obtaining fiduciary oversight of plan administration by an ERISA 3(16) Plan Administrator. The Program is supported by retirement industry leaders, Voya Financial, Mercer, TD Ameritrade, and now newly selected preferred provider NPPG. This combination of services provides unique retirement plan solutions to member firms, access to customizable plan designs and fiduciary oversight by ABA RF and seeks to support plan participants on their path to save for retirement.
“One of our main goals through the Program is to provide our member firms with the most comprehensive bundle of retirement services and the offering of NPPG services is a continuation of that goal,” said Scarlett Ungurean, executive director of the ABA RF. “This preferred service relationship is intended to result in additional value in the integrated solution for a Program plan sponsor and reduces the administrative and related administrative fiduciary burdens that otherwise are the responsibility of the plan sponsor.”

The ABA RF recognized the need to offer additional administrative fiduciary support and oversight which shows its continued commitment to providing employers with comprehensive retirement plan solutions.
