About Empower

Empower, a leader in financial planning, investing, and advice, is dedicated to creating financial freedom through people and technology. It administers approximately $1.4 trillion in assets for more than 18 million retirement plan participants and is the nation’s second-largest retirement plan recordkeeper by total participants.

A year ago, Empower announced its ambitious expansion in consumer wealth management with the launch of its Personal Wealth division to make money management simpler, clearer, and more accessible. This included the acquisition of market leader Personal Capital.

With $1.4T in defined‑contribution assets under administration, the strategic move is the next step in the company's evolution following its acquisition of pioneering digital wealth manager Personal Capital in 2020. Empower rapidly scaled to serve over 18 million Americans through the combination of Great‑West Financial, J.P. Morgan Retirement Plan Services, Putnam Investments, and purchases of the Mass Mutual and Prudential Financial retirement businesses.

A financial solutions provider, Empower continues to expand its offerings to meet the needs of individuals and employers, and through partnerships with independent financial advisors.
