Diverse Portfolios with ETFs Powered by State Street

Your savings are invested in diversified portfolios of ETFs powered by State Street, one of the world's largest asset managers with over $4 trillion under management.

Simplified Management

Manage your entire retirement portfolio through one intuitive dashboard. No complex paperwork, or juggling different providers. Your BeeKeeper helps you implement your retirement plan with minimal effort on your part.

Significant Tax Advantages

Contributions to your SEP IRA may be tax-deductible, potentially reducing your current taxable income by up to $70,000 annually (the 2025 SEP IRA contribution limit). You don’t pay taxes on earnings within your SEP IRA until you withdraw them, but withdrawals before age 59½ may be subject to taxes and a 10% early withdrawal penalty.

Flexible Contribution Schedule

Unlike some retirement plans that require consistent contributions, a SEP IRA gives you the freedom to adjust your contributions based on your business performance. Contribute more during profitable years and less during challenging times.
