Arlington, Va. -- The Plan Sponsor Council of America (PSCA), the premier education-focused association for retirement plan sponsors founded in 1947, today announced its strategic partnership with Knowa to launch Knowa powered by PSCA—an intelligent AI platform designed to transform how 401(k) and 403(b) retirement plans are managed and governed.

Knowa – the UK market leader already trusted by 7,000+ users managing $300+ billion in assets – is excited to bring its proven governance platform to American retirement plan stakeholders. The platform's innovation has been consistently recognized, winning the UK Pensions Award for Technology Innovation of the Year in 2020, 2022, and 2024. 

Knowa powered by PSCA addresses the growing operational challenges facing retirement plan administrators, including information overload, rising litigation risks, regulatory complexity, and the loss of institutional knowledge due to personnel changes.
