WHO WE ARE

History Icon

HISTORY

Since 1969, California Pensions has provided a complete range of self-directed retirement plan services for participants and plan sponsors.

Since we recognize that one type of investment structure does not work for every situation, we do not sell, require or recommend any investment products. Instead, we believe in freedom of asset choice.

Mission

MISSION

As a company, our goal is to ensure that our clients are able to support their employees through a well-managed, affordable employee benefit solution while also saving themselves the burden of self-administering their plan.

We are dedicated to providing a range of retirement plan services for both defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.

Culture Icon

CULTURE

Our people are the reason why we have been so successful in delivering a highly responsive service orientation. The average length of service for our employees is over 15 years.

As a provider for primarily mid- to small- market plan sponsors, we know to adapt to the changes of plans that come with mergers, acquisitions, and other adverse conditions like bankruptcy and closures.

WHO WE HELP

ADVISORS

One of the most important relationships a financial advisor can develop to meet the demands of current and future clients is to find a trusted third-party administrator (TPA) to work with. At California Pensions, we invest in our advisors-partners to help them identify, win and retain retirement plan business

CPAs

Retirement plans are an invaluable tool for CPAs to use to help reduce client tax liability. By partnering with a TPA firm such as California Pensions, CPAs and accountants can deliver plan designs that meet their client’s needs and pass muster from a regulatory perspective.

WHOLESALERS

When partnering with wholesalers, TPAs can share best practices and help retain plans. For wholesalers who want to focus on positive outcomes, supporting financial professionals, and the sale of qualified retirement plan products, California Pensions can provide the expert support wholesalers need.
