Company mission

To enable its partners to deliver innovative solutions that help people save for what matters to them — retirement, education, and healthcare.

Our take

Ascensus helps millions of people to manage their savings and improve their financial security, by partnering with financial institutions, governments, advisors, and employers to offer tax-advantaged savings plans.

The company empowers its clients to deliver savings experiences that benefit their customers and/or workers through a combination of tailored technology and deep industry expertise. It has over 40 years of experience in 401(k) retirement plan design, and has entered both the college savings plan and health and benefits spaces since 2013, expanding its scope across all major types of savings.

In 2022, Ascensus began its merger with Newport, a retirement services provider, which will allow it to bring its leading capabilities to a broader array of advisors, partners, and clients. Combined, this entity will serve more than 15 million people in the US across upwards of 150,000 retirement plans, allowing Ascensus to further build on its leading position in the market.
