Pontera, a technology provider serving advisors in managing held-away assets, has announced a strategic partnership with Manulife John Hancock Retirement. This collaboration aims to enhance the management of workplace retirement accounts, including 401(k)s, by leveraging secure and compliant technologies.

The partnership, which was formalized this week, will enable Pontera's technology to work seamlessly with Manulife John Hancock Retirement's record-keeping services. Pontera's technology acts as a secure layer, allowing advisors to monitor, analyze, and rebalance client accounts without accessing client usernames and passwords. This approach ensures that client credentials remain encrypted and adheres to industry security standards, such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 [1].

The collaboration comes at a time when there is growing demand for better technology and personalized advice in managing workplace retirement accounts. According to Schwab’s 2024 401(k) Participant Study, 61% of 401(k) participants feel their financial situation warrants financial advice, yet only 35% currently receive investment recommendations from professional financial advisors [1]. Respondents also indicated a strong preference for human financial advice over computer-generated recommendations.

Manulife John Hancock Retirement, which services over 57,000 retirement plans in the U.S. with over 3.3 million active participants and claims over $254 billion in assets under management or administration, sees this partnership as a means to provide plan participants with more choices and better guidance [1].

This partnership is not Manulife John Hancock’s first fintech collaboration this year. In March, the company announced a partnership with Future Step to help manage smaller and start-up workplace retirement plans [1].
