Frequently asked questions

What types of businesses is this solution designed for?  

Ubiquity and Farther have partnered to provide a solution designed for growing businesses across a wide range of industries looking to offer a modern, high-quality retirement benefit with professional investment oversight built in. 

How does the Ubiquity and Farther partnership work?  

Ubiquity serves as your plan’s recordkeeper and third-party administrator, handling end-to-end administration, while Farther serves as your dedicated 3(38) investment manager with discretionary responsibility for your plan’s investment lineup. Together we deliver a comprehensive, fully supported, and simplified retirement solution.

What is a 3(38) investment manager?  

An ERISA 3(38) investment manager is a type of fiduciary with the authority to build and manage a retirement plan’s investment lineup on behalf of the plan sponsor. This can help reduce a plan sponsor’s investment oversight responsibilities while ensuring participants have access to a professionally curated and monitored fund lineup.

What are the benefits of Farther’s 3(38) services for my retirement plan?

Under the federal retirement law known as ERISA, plan sponsors have certain fiduciary duties related to the investments offered in their plans. With Farther serving as your plan’s 3(38), Farther has the authority and fiduciary responsibility to select, monitor, and update your plan’s investment lineup as needed. This can help reduce the investment-related oversight you manage directly, while you continue to monitor Farther and fulfill your other duties as a plan sponsor.

What investment options are available?  

You and your employees can choose from a diversified lineup of index and actively managed funds, offering a range of high-quality investment options designed to help support long-term financial goals.

How are fees structured?  

Ubiquity’s flat-fee recordkeeping means your administrative costs stay predictable and fixed as your plan grows, with no hidden costs. Additional fees from third-party service providers, including investment management services, are separate and will be clearly disclosed.

What support is available to me and my employees?  

Our team of retirement specialists is available by chat, phone, and email whenever you need us. Beyond live support, you and your employees have access to self-service tools and educational resources to help you get the most out of your retirement plan. 

Can I move my existing 401(k) plan?  

Yes. If you already have a retirement plan, our teams work together to guide you through the transition process and help make the conversion as seamless as possible for your business and employees. 

Can I keep my current payroll provider?  

Yes. Ubiquity is payroll agnostic and integrates with a wide range of payroll providers, giving your business the flexibility to work with the payroll solution that’s right for you. If you change payroll providers in the future, your retirement plan can remain with Ubiquity.
