Ascensus’ TPA Solutions Division Rebrands

Ascensus, the nation’s largest TPA, announced April 8 that its TPA Solutions group will become FuturePlan by Ascensus. 

The division consists of 42 locations across the country servicing more than 34,000 plans with 30 different recordkeeping partners. Its expertise includes DC plans, DB plans (both traditional and cash balance), ESOPs, specialty plans and 3(16) fiduciary services.

Over the past few years, Ascensus has acquired many independent TPAs and recruited well-known workplace retirement experts – most recently, ASPPA Leadership Council member JJ McKinney, formerly a principal at Retirement Strategies, Inc. in Augusta, GA, as Divisional VP, Sales. “Most of our senior leaders are legacy firm owners — they’re excited to be part of the ambitious national firm that we’re building together,” said Jerry Bramlett, who heads the group. “We’ve worked hard to preserve the unique strengths and insights from each legacy company while moving to a common workflow, introducing shared service standards, and improving efficiency through better technology, HR, and administrative functions.”
