American Trust Retirement Story

American Trust Retirement is a division of American Trust, a family-owned community bank founded in 1911. We have grown to strengthen the products, services, and financial management we provide to our clients while retaining the integrity and commitment of a community bank. As the fastest growing division in the bank, and with more than 60 years in the retirement industry, American Trust Retirement is positioned as a leader in the industry. In March 2014, the division grew our market presence through the acquisition of a third-party administrator that serviced over $430 million in assets. Today, the division services over 800 plans with more than $2.8 billion in plan assets.

Information Driven

Education is Key We want our advisors to be in a position to help participants reach their financial goals and retirement objectives with confidence. Advisors need to know extensive knowledge about each participant’s financial situation, retirement plan features, and available investment options, and have knowledge on market conditions to make that happen. With American Trust, advisors are placed in a position to know their clients and determine their best path to retirement. Here’s how we do it: • Educational webinars on plan analysis, plan design, fiduciary responsibilities, and more • Assistance in evaluating each individual plan and making recommendations for improvement • Support in developing a service plan • Marketing materials for group and individual meetings • Multiple investment strategy options • Competitive pricing structures • Unique, analytical reports • And more!

Focusing on Retirement Readiness

Enrollment and Education Participating in a retirement plan can be daunting. Our education team makes enrolling easy by conducting customized meetings–in groups or one-on-one–that challenge, encourage, and educate employees about their 401(k) participation. We developed a series of educational materials for participants that effectively educate and offer assistance to our participants in understanding their retirement health.

Dedicated Administration Team A team of professionals–a relationship manager, data specialist, and compliance team–are assigned to your retirement plan to give you the extra attention you deserve.

Ongoing Support We are committed to offering you support from transition to daily plan maintenance. Our staff is available to answer your questions, discuss your plan options, assist participants, and more via in-person, email, or toll free.

Communicating Plan Results

Plan Sponsor ATBlueprint ® The real measurement of an effective retirement plan is the ability for employees to retire successfully. The Plan Sponsor ATBlueprint illustrates at a plan level how prepared their employees are for retirement by outlining overall plan health, age segmented comparison, detailed year-by-year comparison, and participant investment profiles. Click here to view a sample Plan Sponsor ATBlueprint ® . Annual Plan Review Each year, we commit to providing you an update on the overall health of your plan, including total assets, number of participants, average account balance, participation rate, and average deferral rate from the plan’s transition to now. It illustrates, at an individual and plan level, the plan’s progress through ATBlueprint ® statistics, current ATArchitect ® results (if applicable to the plan), and highlights insurance needs.

Investments

Investment success through comprehensive and unbiased support.

Enhanced Process

All-Encompassing Due Diligence The fund selection process is vital in delivering an exceptional investment platform. We recognize the lack of predictive value a system built solely on historical performance delivers. Over thousands of funds are researched and we seek those with specific profiles, each adhering to a different investment style. We also aim to use institutional share class pricing when possible to provide you the best investments at the lowest price. The process includes both quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify suitable managers for our platform–we do not rely on scoring systems or absolutes. Our dedicated investment staff utilizes our disciplined evaluation process to form an opinion on each manager and recommends approval or removal to the investment committee.

Our due diligence emphasizes six key elements we believe are essential to understanding the attractiveness and quality of each new and existing manager strategy:

Plan Design Promise

Provide plan design analysis and recommendations each year.

Unmatched Expertise

Customized Plan Capabilities We specialize in complex plan design, including cross-testing, a type of profit sharing plan design which allows a plan sponsor to create employee classifications and provide for different allocation rates. The non-discrimination testing methodology used in this type of plan design takes into consideration an employee’s age and compensation. Benefits include:

• Flexible employer contribution • Multiple allocation rates among employees • Potential for FICA tax savings • Increased employee retention and recruitment • Higher contributions to business owners or employees in executive roles

Cross-testing can be used as a means to restructure compensation packages to save on payroll taxes. Assuming a compensation package consists of salary and bonuses, you could choose to pay less in cash or bonuses and divert the remaining amount to the profit sharing allocation, potentially giving you FICA tax savings.

What is Safe Harbor Safe Harbor is a type of plan design that guarantees a minimum employer contribution and in return allows for less restrictive non-discrimination testing requirements.

• Maximizes the HCEs deferral potential • Utilizes matching or nonelective contributions

• Implemented prior to the plan year • Offers immediate employee vesting
