Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Services

The Principal® understands the uniqueness and complexity of ESOP plans. Through the following services, we provide solutions to help make your management of your ESOP plan easier:

 

Communication & Education

Together with your management, we can help identify specific communication needs. With that information, our staff can develop and deliver tailored communication programs that help build employee support for your plan and encourage employees to participate.

 

Consulting

We service hundreds of plans with employer stock. That puts us in a unique position to assist you with more than just the administrative services of your ESOP.

 

My PERLSSM

Principal e-Diversification ServicesSM

Principal Total Retirement SuiteSM

Recordkeeping & Administrative Services

Our proprietary recordkeeping system is specifically designed to work with ESOPs, 401(k)s and other plans involving employer securities.

 

 

Your repurchase calculation will be based on the set of assumptions you use within the My PERLS software. Consultants at The Principal are available to discuss the results generated by your study and the potential alternatives for addressing repurchase liability issues. You should consult appropriate professionals on all matters related to legal, tax, or accounting obligations and requirements.
