On 18 July 2024, PensionBee announced the launch of its US business, confirming that its subsidiary PensionBee Inc. had entered into a strategic partnership with its long-standing asset management provider, State Street Global Advisors ('State Street'). The United States is the world's largest Defined Contribution pension market, representing approximately 80% of the global total and $22.5tr in assets.⁶

PensionBee will deploy its award-winning online retirement proposition and proprietary technology, enabling US consumers to easily consolidate and roll over their 401(k) plans and Individual Retirement Accounts ('IRAs') into one new PensionBee IRA. PensionBee Inc. is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC') as an investment adviser, enabling the company to operate federally and statewide without additional registrations.

PensionBee Inc. offers a range of investment portfolio options, with underlying State Street model portfolios. Each investment portfolio is constructed exclusively with Exchange Traded Funds ('ETFs') managed by State Street.

The PensionBee IRA will be offered under a wrap fee program, including the PensionBee advisory service, asset allocation and management fees and custody fees. The overall cost will be 0.85% of assets under management, of which PensionBee will retain approximately 0.55% after asset allocation, investment product and custody costs. The average account balance is expected to be approximately $50,000.

State Street will provide meaningful marketing support to PensionBee as it uses its data-led, multi-channel customer acquisition approach to attract new customers. Under the terms of the agreement with State Street, the annual amount of the marketing support is variable based on the achievement of certain net new asset thresholds. For example, marketing support is anticipated to be $2m in 2024 and in 2025 the support will be at least $4m. Marketing support is expected to continue for 5-7 years. PensionBee expects a US Cost per Invested Customer of similar proportions to its UK business over time.

PensionBee Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of PensionBee. PensionBee Inc. is financially managed separately to PensionBee Group's UK business. PensionBee Inc. is separately regulated by the SEC.

PensionBee expects its US business to grow rapidly, aiming to manage $20-25bn in US Defined Contribution assets over the next decade, such that it becomes of equal importance to its growing UK business.

PensionBee Group will capitalise PensionBee Inc. with an injection from the existing resources of its Group balance sheet (approximately $4m over 36 months).

PensionBee Inc. is targeting profitability in the medium-term.
