Retirement Plan Exchange® is a registered service mark of Transamerica. The Exchange solution is not a multiple employer plan (MEP). Unlike a MEP, certain plan qualification and ERISA requirements are applied at the individual plan level. An employer participating in the plan retains certain fiduciary responsibilities, including responsibility for retaining and monitoring the 3(16) plan administrator, for determining the reasonableness of its fees, and for periodically reviewing the plan as a whole. Transamerica does not act as a 3(16) plan fiduciary.
Financial Professional is a Principal Securities, Inc. Registered Representative. Principal Securities is a member of the Principal Financial Group® Des Moines, IA 50392.
Before adopting any plan you should carefully consider all of the benefits, risks, and costs associated with a plan.

Retirement plans are complex, and the federal and state laws or regulations on which they are based vary for each type of plan and are subject to change. In addition, some products, investment vehicles, and services may not be available or appropriate in all workplace retirement plans. Plan sponsors and plan administrators
may wish to seek the advice of legal counsel or a tax professional to address their specific situations.
