About Retirement Clearinghouse

Retirement Clearinghouse (RCH) is the leading specialist in retirement savings portability services,

with best practices designed to address the problems caused by small accounts.

What Causes Small Accounts?

A mobile workforce, combined with savings-based initiatives

(e.g. auto-enrollment) drives a proliferation of small accounts in

401(k) retirement plans. Small accounts occur each time a new

participant enrolls in the plan, or when a short-tenure or low-

deferral rate participant separates.

The Impact of Small Accounts on Your Plan:

• Growth in plan costs

• Increase in fiduciary liability

• Problems with missing participants and uncashed checks

Portability / Transition Management Services Offered by RCH:

RCH Automatic Rollover Service

RCH Managed PortabilitySM

• In: RCH Assisted Roll-In

• Out: RCH Assisted Roll-Out
