Recordkeepers and third party administrators are operating under tremendous margin pressure, while also having to constantly upgrade and adapt their technology to win and retain new business.
That is why American Trust Custody, formerly Mid Atlantic Trust Company, provides an innovative set of portfolio tools and conflict-free investment products. These solutions not only save time and expense in managing existing plans, but also provide features that help benefits administrators win new business.
Increased Operational Efficiencies & Unique Investment Choices
The American Trust Custody solutions are not designed to generate more transaction and platform fees that have to be passed on to the participants. Our solutions are also not set up to optimize the delivery of proprietary investment products or those providing higher payouts. Instead, we aim to help benefits administrators realize operational efficiencies and provide access to a cutting-edge set of tools and services that will relieve margin pressures on their business, while also providing access to unique investment choices that will help to attract new plans.

Solutions from American Trust Custody
State-of-The-Art Custody, Trading & Reporting
Our state-of-the-art custody, trading and reporting systems integrate directly into your recordkeeping or trust accounting system, allowing full electronic processing, settlement, and reporting of trades and transactions.
Simplified Model Integration Into Plans
ModelxChange® is our proprietary web-based technology for trading and rebalancing of ETF and mutual fund-based portfolios, simplifying the process of coordinating all of the moving parts to manage an investment model within a retirement plan effectively.
Seamlessly Trade ETFs in Retirement Plans
ETFxChange® is American Trust Custody’s industry-leading platform to allow recordkeepers the ability to handle ETFs using the same systems and processes they already have in place for trading mutual funds.
Reduce Plan Costs and Administration Headaches of Abandoned 401(k) Accounts with Auto Rollover IRAs
Former employees that leave behind small balances in their employer-sponsored 401(k)’s can become an expensive administrative headache for the plan sponsor, as they lead to increased participant counts and thus higher plan costs, not to mention increased fiduciary liability.
Eliminate Plan Performance Drag of Abandoned Plans
Abandoned plans cause serious issues for service providers. Our Abandoned Retirement Plan Service can help recordkeepers bring plans of all sizes to a successful resolution, even those plans with other custodians.
Paying Agent Services for Outside Assets
American Trust Custody offers an extensive line of paying agent services for plans in custody with us or held elsewhere. Our services may be the perfect solution for those looking to outsource 1099 production and other related services for balance forward plans or plans held in brokerage accounts.
Alternative Cash Deposit Solution
In today’s world of floating NAVs, liquidity fees, and suspension gates, the yield of the fund isn’t the only impact that choice will have on cash held in participant accounts. DepositxChange® is an American Trust Custody multi-bank, cash deposit option that functions like a daily accrual money market mutual fund and integrates seamlessly with recordkeeper platforms.
