The Standard Offers Managed Accounts to 403(b)s
Standard Retirement Services, a subsidiary of StanCorp Financial Group, Inc., will begin offering its proprietary managed account service to 403(b) plans next month, the company announced.
Reported by Fred Schneyer
The service, known as Mainspring Manage, allows an investment adviser to select the core fund lineup for a client’s managed portfolios, the company said.
The service is a formal, goal-based retirement savings and investment plan developed, implemented, and managed by The Standard. Previously, Mainspring Managed was offered only to participants in The Standard’s 401(k) plans.
