Plan description
A SEP IRA plan (Simplified Employee Pension Plan) is a low-cost retirement plan for small business owners and the self-employed. In a SEP, you set up an IRA for each eligible employee and make tax-deductible contributions into each account. Earnings are tax deferred.
Key features
- No required IRS filings.
- Each participating employee pays a $10 annual maintenance fee.
- The deduction allowed for employer contributions can save your business money each year by reducing your tax liability.
- You decide amount and frequency of contributions, and you're not required to contribute every year.
- All contributions are 100% immediately vested.
- Employees can create their own portfolios using any of our funds.
Who can establish
Sole proprietors, partnerships, S-corporations1, C-corporations1 and nonprofit groups. Consider an Invesco SEP Plan if you are a business owner or self-employed person who wants to:
- Close the gap between Social Security income and retirement expenses.

- Attract and retain valuable employees.
