Expand Financial, a Denver, Colorado-based retirement industry consultant, today announced the closing of its acquisition of Dream Forward’s 401(k) business. “This acquisition continues our strong growth, as we look to bring Dream Forward’s 401(k) clients into the Expand ecosystem,” said Greg Bakke, President. “Dream Forward offered their clients excellent customer service and a unique retirement plan model, and we are excited to continue to provide their clients exceptional service.”
eFA, a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) affiliated with Expand Financial, is currently the 3(38) fiduciary on most Dream Forward plans being acquired, and this acquisition allows Expand Financial to enhance the existing relationship with this additional consultancy role.
Dream Forward’s 401(k) business was established to offer small businesses a new kind of modern, low-cost solution. Dream Forward’s technology is designed to simplify and streamline the administrative process for plan sponsors, in order to make 401(k) plans more accessible to small businesses.
With the completion of the 401(k) sale, Dream Forward will continue to operate its growing technology licensing business, white-labeling their proprietary retirement chatbot technology to the industry. Dream Forward’s chatbot helps improve participant outcomes, and can explain all of the nuances of saving for retirement and 401(k) rules and regulations.
