Press Release

LeafHouse, iJoin® Partner to Deliver a Personalized Managed Account Solution with Breakthrough Pricing

Issued by iJoin

Aug. 3, 2021

The tech-fueled offering is poised to disrupt the retirement plan industry

LeafHouse Financial and LDI-MAP (d.b.a. iJoin), leaders in retirement plan technologies, are excited to announce a new advisor managed account offering that combines the power of LeafHouses’ FlexFiduciary™ and reallocateIT™ portfolio management technologies and iJoin’s goal-based, personalized participant experience. The technology-driven efficiency of this solution makes it possible to offer a long-sought personalized managed account program with 3(38) investment manager fiduciary coverage at a cost of as little as six basis points (not including investment expense).

The LeafHouse-iJoin Managed Account Program (MAP) is available through more than 40 independent recordkeepers that deploy the iJoin platform. Core to its design, the program addresses key employer and advisor requirements while it seeks to help individual investors be more successful. LeafHouse’s FlexFiduciary™ service helps employers meet their obligations while reducing cost, oversight, effort, and risk. And the program’s investment methodology works with a plan’s existing investment lineup in collaboration with the plan advisor.

Efficient technology and cost have traditionally limited the appeal of personalized managed account solutions. At as little as 6 basis points, the LeafHouse iJoin MAP provides personalization technology that may be lower than the price of a blended target date fund when including the expense of the underlying investments.

While target date funds have been and continue to be a solution that simplifies investing for many, they are not tailored to the unique needs of the individual. iJoin and LeafHouse are responding by accelerating development of innovative digital solutions, especially in the default investment space.

“Our partnership with iJoin reflects our core focus of innovating with cost effective and scalable solutions,” says Todd Kading, President and Cofounder of LeafHouse. “This offering has the potential to benefit millions of investors by optimizing their savings path while helping employers reduce their retirement plan costs and fiduciary burden. That’s innovating with a purpose. That’s LeafHouse.”

Steve McCoy, CEO of iJoin shared his view of the offering, “A highly personalized and scalable participant experience is more than an aspirational goal – it’s a reality. We’re delivering on that promise right now. And when you combine our data-driven, personalized goal-based experience with LeafHouse’s innovative portfolio management and fiduciary service technology, you have a compelling “manage it for me” solution that can really begin to move the needle on retirement income security.”
