The Challenge
Most American dentists retire later than planned—95% struggle to maintain their lifestyle in retirement.
Our mission
We help dentists and their teams join the 5% who retire comfortably—backed by nearly 60 years of experience.
Pooled Employer Plan (PEP) benefits
Save money
The combined assets of members help us negotiate lower fees with service and investment providers. The more members we have, the more leverage we have as a group.
Save time
The PEP offers easy enrollment for your employees, handles the day-to-day operation of your plan, and files the annual 5500 Form.
Lower risk
The PEP is managed by fiduciaries who are obligated to look out for the best interests of participating members. The PEP Administrator ensures your retirement plan stays compliant with government regulations. The PEP Investment Manager is responsible for selecting and monitoring the investments offered in your plan.
Flexible plan design
You will get guidance to design a plan that works for you and your team, while also helping you maximize the tax benefits to you as the business owner.
Employee help
We have a dedicated service team to help your employees enroll and manage their account.
Personalized advice
In addition to the low cost investments, participating members have access to full-service financial planning including portfolio management and debt management guidance.
Resources
You and your team will have access to a wealth of financial and education resources via one of the top retirement plan platforms.
Real stories from real dentists
Member stories
I saw firsthand how well the TDG performed for my parents and their retirement accounts. Thanks to their collaboration with TDG, they enjoyed a full, wonderful — and comfortable — retirement. Because of their experience, I didn’t hesitate to join TDG when I became a dentist.
-Lisa Dobak DDS
The TDG staff worked with me and my staff to get a handle on our needs and then prepared an approach designed to meet them. Today, with TDG handling our retirement plans, we are able to concentrate on what we do best — caring for the dental health of our patients and growing our practice.
-Ellen Pacleb, DDS
The team at TDG are responsive, respectful of my time, and offer solutions that make sense for me, my family, and the employees of my practice. Knowing TDG has retirement “handled” means I can devote more time to the things I am good at and enjoy — like taking care of my patients. TDG offers a diverse, high-quality assortment of mutual funds and other investment vehicles.
