This service is a type of plan and participant record keeping environment that is not tied to any specific mutual fund family; rather the Employer is free to choose from many fund families (commonly called “Open Architecture”).  This allows a more diverse group of fund options under a participant-directed plan, with the goal being to optimize investment performance for the participants by using the best funds available in each asset class at the lowest possible share price.  DPS Easy Choice provides online access for participants to manage their accounts and plan their retirement savings.
