Partner with Principal for Retirement expertise and support.

Partnering for growth

Financial professionals with growing practices need a partner who helps carry the load, offering automated and recordkeeping-driven services to grow your business.

Capture wealth management opportunities with benefit event notification through Principal^®

Stay connected with valuable clients that align with your wealth strategy* to create new business opportunities, all through an automated service that works according to your specifications. We can work with you to tailor benefit event strategy that meets your specifications for each plan.

Passively grow your business

You’ve made a great plan lineup, but participants may be missing out on the advice and financial options you and the plan sponsor select by leaving their retirement savings at other jobs. It’s increasingly common with younger generations, who often move companies to seek new positions.

Instead of spending time encouraging participants to move their old accounts, reach out to your Principal representative and ask about our roll-in services.

*Analysis of our book of business indicates greater engagement rates between advisors and participants with $250,000+ than with participants that have lower average account balances.
