Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Nova published 2026 limits and Roth guidance by November 2025, signaling execution.
  • Nova's January 2026 leadership training shows active internal investment and retention focus.
  • Nova's PEP registration plans align with employer demand for lower-fiduciary retirement solutions.

What critics are saying

  • Nova faces heavy commoditization from Empower, ADP, and Vanguard bundled retirement platforms.
  • SECURE 2.0 Roth catch-up errors in 2026 trigger costly corrections and client churn.
  • If Nova misses regulatory updates, plan sponsors can switch TPAs within one renewal cycle.

What makes Nova 401(k) Associates unique

  • Nova serves 6,500+ employers with in-house ERISA and document administration.
  • Nova adopted deemed Roth catch-up amendments for 2026 SECURE 2.0 compliance.
  • Nova positions PEP and MEP solutions alongside traditional 401(k) TPA services.
