Account features and support
Easy access for plan participants

BrokerageFlex accounts can be consolidated with other plan assets on our platform, as they may incorporate the same connectivity with your recordkeeping systems. In addition, BrokerageFlex gives you and your plan sponsor clients the flexibility to add restrictions on what plan participants can trade through plan-level edits.¹ To further assist you, we provide an informational report designed to help with your year-end tax 5500 reporting.
