Registered Investment Adviser OneDigital has partnered with Pontera, enabling wealth managers to offer premium in-plan guidance to clients.

NEW YORK & OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- OneDigital Investment Advisors LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of OneDigital — a leading insurance brokerage, HR consulting, and wealth management firm serving over 100,000 employers and millions of individuals across the U.S (“OneDigital”) — has announced today that it has partnered with financial technology company Pontera. With this partnership, OneDigital Investment Adviser representatives are able to more effectively manage plan participant accounts as part of their cohesive, goals-based investment strategies for clients.

“At OneDigital, we are committed to offering wealth management for everyone,” said Vince Morris, President of Retirement and Wealth at OneDigital. “Pontera is a strategic step forward to enable our advisers to better serve the financial needs of working Americans.”

The partnership comes at a time when more Americans are looking for help with the management of their retirement savings amid market volatility and inflationary pressures. Researchers have recently found that upwards of 40 percent of employees cash out their 401(k) when leaving a job, even when it is detrimental to the accumulation of their savings.

“We are excited to be a part of OneDigital’s balanced approach to providing financial freedom to individuals,” said David Goldman, Chief Business Officer of Pontera. “In addition to having investment assistance options such as target date funds and managed services, participants can also seek more bespoke in-plan management with OneDigital and their advisers.”

Using Pontera’s solution, OneDigital wealth managers will be able to gain deep insights into each of their client’s retirement accounts to make informed rebalancing decisions while retaining assets in-plan.

"Advisers must be able to present a comprehensive plan that delivers the best solution for their clients,” said Andrew Jefferys, National Vice President, Wealth Management Solutions for OneDigital. "This is extremely difficult to do without incorporating all of the client’s retirement assets. Partnering with Pontera will provide our advisers with the tools necessary to help their clients achieve their personalized goals and objectives.”

Originally founded in 2000, OneDigital provides over 100,000 employers with insurance, financial services and human resources consulting advisory. With the acquisition of Resources Investment Advisors in 2020, OneDigital expanded into retirement and wealth and now manages $120 billion in Total Assets Serviced.
