State-sponsored retirement programs—often referred to as auto-IRA programs—are rapidly expanding across the country. And for financial advisors, they represent a meaningful opportunity to help individuals along their retirement savings journey and achieve financial security.
In this timely webinar, two leading experts will break down what’s happening—and what it means for your practice.
Angela Antonelli, Executive Director of the Center for Retirement Initiatives at Georgetown University, will provide a comprehensive overview of the state-run retirement landscape, including how auto-IRA programs work, which states have active mandates, and where expansion is headed next.
Peter Thompson of Commonwealth Savers will then take a deeper dive into RetirePath, one of the newer state-facilitated programs, and explain how it is evolving as it rolls out to more businesses later this year.
Together, they will help you understand:
- How auto-IRA programs are reshaping the small business retirement market
- Which employers are impacted—and when
- Where advisors can still add value (and where they may be disintermediated)
- How programs like RetirePath actually function in practice
- Strategic ways to position yourself as a solution—not a substitute
As more states implement mandates and enforcement ramps up, advisors who understand this landscape will be better equipped to protect existing relationships, identify new opportunities, and guide clients with confidence. If you work with small business owners—or plan to—this is a conversation you can’t afford to miss.
