Here’s what you should know about managing retirement plan investments on the PCS platform

No proprietary investments

There are no proprietary investments—no conflicts of interest—so you can always pick the investments that are best for your clients. We pride ourselves on offering a truly independent platform with no hidden agenda or funds to push. Customize your fund lineups and models by choosing from a diverse menu of more than 21,600 mutual funds and ETFs.

Investment Management Center

The Investment Management Center gives you a single platform to easily add, replace, rebalance, or transfer funds across all your defined contribution plan lineups or model portfolios. This platform—integrated into our recordkeeping system—is designed to save you time and reduce the fiduciary complexity associated with managing retirement plan investments. You can offer sophisticated investment solutions to smaller plans and no longer have to offer off-the-shelf group annuities and target date funds.

No fund restrictions

We offer no “pay-to-play.” Unlike many bundled providers that limit fund selection to those that meet the provider’s fee sharing requirements, there are no restrictions on the available funds.

Fair and transparent pricing

PCS is committed to fair pricing and full fee disclosure. We want you to always know who you are paying and for what services. A hallmark of our platform is the offset of all mutual fund revenue—including both 12b-1 fees and sub-transfer agency fees—against investment management, recordkeeping, trustee and custodial expenses.
