Molgilny89 Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Would there be anything legally preventing a recordkeeper from commingling the assets of multiple Solo 401(k)s into a single trust account to achieve efficiencies for the all the individual plans? I know certain parts of ERISA do not apply to a Solo 401(k) plan, but I'm wondering if any of the sections that do apply would prohibit this practice?
Lou S. Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 It sounds like your looking for Pooled Employer Plans introduced by the Secure Act.

CuseFan Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 A multiple employer trust is different than a multiple employer plan - you can have the former without the latter. This is different than a master trust, where assets of multiple plans of a single employer or controlled group of employers are contained in a single trust. I do not think there are any restrictions on solo plans entering into this sort of arrangement. Kenneth M. Prell, CEBS, ERPA Vice President, BPAS Actuarial & Pension Services kprell@bpas.com
JOH Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Just curious, is this something the recordkeeper wants to do or is this something the Individual Solo K plans are requested? I would think that the custodial agreement would determine if this could be done or not. Also, this sounds like a recordkeeper's nightmare. Lou S. 1
