Qualified Plan Advisors, an Overland Park, Kansas-based retirement plan consulting firm has launched the Qualified Plan Advisors Pooled Employer Plan in partnership with Newport Group, a retirement plan services provider.

The PEP will help advisers assist clients in starting up new plans or growing plans, the company said in a release, but it won’t be limited to small plans.

The announcement noted that the PEP will include adviser managed accounts as part of its hybrid qualified default investment alternative structure.
