The long-debated question:

To bundle or not-to bundle?

Administering a retirement plan can come with several challenges and complexities.

Partnering with the right administrator is key to the effectiveness of your plan and raises the question of which one is right for me: a bundled provider or a Third Party Administer (TPA).

Partnering with a TPA for your retirement plan offers numerous advantages over a bundled provider. At Trinity, we offer specialized services and expertise that can greatly benefit your plan's administration and overall effectiveness.
