Described as a “redesign”, the product offers 24-hour participant access to:

  • Plan inquiry and transactions

  • Defined benefit modeling
  • Automatic rollovers
  • Wireless access
  • Account aggregation
  • Financial modeling/advice on personal assets
  • Access to self-directed account brokerage
  • Non-qualified plan access

A full-featured plan sponsor web site is also on the drawing board, according to Serge Boccassini, Director of Product Development and Principal of Northern Trust Retirement Consulting.
