The Unity 401(k) is a Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) designed and managed by NS Capital.
A PEP empowers multiple organizations to unite under a single plan, streamlining the process of providing and managing a retirement plan. This eliminates the need for employers to individually sponsor their own 401(k)s, freeing them from the associated risks and workload.
