Market AnalysisWhat are Automatic Rollovers?
Automatic rollovers are processes that transfer former employees’ 401(k) balances (generally under $7,000) into a retirement plan aimed to help preserve and grow these small accounts. To support this, the Department of Labor offers a safe harbor that protects employers from certain fiduciary liabilities when they follow the required procedures for rolling over small, inactive accounts.
How do Automatic Rollovers benefit employers?
Employers can benefit from reduced administrative burdens and time, lower record-keeping and audit fees, and improved plan health through cleaner data and better plan metrics.
What is the PensionBee difference compared to other Automatic Rollover (Safe Harbor IRA) providers?
PensionBee immediately invests funds in our Treasury Portfolio to help preserve the value of participants' savings and keep it working for them. Participants have access to an award-winning platform, dedicated support from a Beekeeper, clear and transparent fees (an all-in annual fee of 0.85%, including management and underlying investment costs), helpful educational resources, and easy-to-use tools to track savings.
How do other Safe Harbor IRA providers' fees impact retirement savings?
Many leading Automatic Rollover (Safe Harbor IRA) providers charge high fees and offer low returns, putting hard-earned savings at risk. Over time, these fees can significantly drain retirement accounts, potentially reducing balances to zero, as shown in our market review.
Where can I find more information about PensionBee's Automatic Rollover?
Learn about PensionBee’s approach to Automatic Rollovers through the Treasury Portfolio, which is designed to help protect savings while employees explore a range of portfolios, including a best-in-class Target Date Portfolio.
What if employees don't want their accounts moved?
Employees receive advance notice (typically 30-60 days) before any rollover occurs, giving them time to make alternative arrangements. They can choose to cash out, roll to their own IRA, or transfer to their new employer’s 401(k) if they have one. The automatic rollover only occurs if they take no action, ensuring we're helping those who need it most while respecting employee choice.
How does this affect our fiduciary responsibility?
PensionBee's automatic rollover service operates under Department of Labor Safe Harbor provisions, which specifically protect plan sponsors from fiduciary liability when following proper procedures. We handle all required notifications, documentation, and compliance requirements, actually reducing your fiduciary risk compared to maintaining small, inactive accounts.
What's the implementation timeline?
Implementation typically takes 30-60 days from contract signing. This includes system integration, participant data setup, and compliance documentation. We handle the heavy lifting—your team's involvement is minimal, usually just a few hours for initial setup and ongoing monthly file transfers.
