Alden Advantage
Alden specializes in providing small and medium sized businesses with excellent retirement plan choices. Most business owners understand saving for retirement is important and want to provide for their employees, and their own, retirement. The retirement plan landscape is daunting to navigate for many reasons, finding and understanding the options that are out there can be confusing, fees tend to be hard to decipher and hidden or misrepresented, and many brokers tend to do a poor job servicing plans and employees. Alden can help small and medium sized business owners find the right plan and overcome these difficulties.
Things to Know
The most common retirement plans are 401(k) plans, which are for profit-based companies like most private and public businesses, and their close cousins 403(b) plans, which are for non-profit companies like churches, public hospitals, and charities. They can be broken down into two main types, insurance-based plans and non-insurance-based plans. Insurance-based plans are the most common type for small and medium sized businesses generally with under 300 employees and under $20 million in plan assets.
