According to CPI, the program provides assistance to financial advisers with identifying new clients, plan design analysis and consultation, and client presentation support through CPI’s 20 regional offices. It was designed to provide a low-cost, flexible, and transparent plan option for plan sponsors of all sizes.

CPI has partnered with several defined contribution investment only (DCIO) firms – including American funds, Franklin Templeton, Lord Abbett, and Invesco – to promote this new initiative through small regional events across the country.
