Millennium Trust Introduces New Leadership Roles and Expands Product Offerings in the Third Quarter


News Image

Millennium Trust Company, LLC (“Millennium Trust”), a leading provider of retirement and institutional solutions, finished the third quarter of 2019 with $27.4 billion assets under custody in more than 1.3 million accounts. The firm was recognized by Inc. Magazine as #2034 on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing, privately held companies in the U.S., jumping 1,000 spots in one year.

Earlier this quarter, the firm welcomed Erik Beck as Chief Growth Officer to deliver innovative solutions for the retirement and investment industries, develop and expand relationships and continue to grow the business. Mark Jung joined the firm’s board of directors to provide new talent and expanded expertise on the board.

“We are very pleased to see continued positive results throughout 2019 as we head into the fourth quarter,” said Gary Anetsberger, CEO of Millennium Trust . “We owe our continued growth and evolution to our strong relationship with our clients, which inspires us to provide innovative solutions and the highest levels of service.”

As part of the firm’s commitment to increasing access to retirement savings options, Millennium Trust introduced its Workplace Savings Solutions, which provides simple and cost-effective IRA-based alternatives to 401(k) plans. In conjunction with Workplace Savings Solutions, the firm developed the Retirement Savings Selector Tool for Small Businesses as a free, easy and completely agnostic way to help small employers and advisors find the right retirement savings option.

Retirement Services also continued its mission to help Americans better prepare for retirement through its automatic rollover IRA product, the industry-accepted solution for reconnecting missing 401(k) plan participants with their retirement savings. To date, the firm has implemented more than 105,000 agreements with plan sponsors and has opened more than two million rollover IRAs.

“In my 40 plus years in the industry, I have seen ideas, opinions and solutions regarding how to help Americans save for retirement shift many times,” said Terry Dunne, Managing Director of Retirement Services. “What is widely agreed on today is that many Americans are unprepared for retirement. There is still much to be done in the industry, and I feel optimistic and excited about what Millennium Trust is doing to prevent leakage from the retirement system and increase access to retirement savings options.”

Institutional Custody Services ended the third quarter with $13.7 billion in fund assets under custody in more than 500 private and public funds. The firm also continues to focus on building its self-directed IRA and alternative assets business, which has grown 21 percent year-to-date versus the same period in 2018. The team demonstrated its expertise in delivering specialized custody solutions for alternative assets, with almost 18,000 unique assets under custody at the end of the quarter.

ASTM International Establishes Werner H. Gumpertz Award in Honor of SGH Co-Founder


ASTM International Werner H. Gumpertz Award

Werner H. Gumpertz

Werner’s leadership, vision, and enthusiasm helped guide the industry for more than sixty years. With this award, his legacy will continue long into the future.

ASTM International has established a new industry award in honor of Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH) co-founder Werner H. Gumpertz. The organization’s board of directors approved the Werner H. Gumpertz Award following their board meeting in Boston, MA, last month.

“As a result of his exceptional work on standards over six decades, Werner Gumpertz played a major role in creating a strong technical foundation for our modern built environment,” said ASTM International President Katharine Morgan in a release. “Our board is thrilled to celebrate his legacy by creating just our eighth society-level award in his honor.”

Mr. Gumpertz, who is considered a pioneer of the modern practice of building technology, died in 2017 after a long and accomplished career. He served as a longtime ASTM International member, served as chair of the organization’s roofing and waterproofing committee (D08), and was active in several other committees.

“As a recipient of ASTM International’s Walter C. Voss Award and the William C. Cullen Award, among others, Werner has been well recognized for his achievements, but Werner’s incalculable contribution to standards development, advancement of building quality, and encouragement to those who would pursue these goals, deserved more,” said SGH Consulting Principal Thomas Schwartz, an ASTM International fellow and past chairman of the organization’s board of directors. “This award is a well-deserved celebration of his legacy, and those future recipients whose names ultimately adorn this plaque should have to pass one very high bar.”

ASTM International will present the Werner H. Gumpertz Award annually to an engineer, scientist, or architect who has made significant professional contributions to the field of building technology or to solving multidisciplinary technical problems in the construction industry. Both ASTM International members and nonmembers are eligible for nomination.

“I am thrilled to announce the foundation of this new award, which will honor Mr. Gumpertz’s efforts to encourage others to grow and advance the profession,” said SGH Senior Principal Niklas Vigener, Head of Building Technology. “His leadership, vision, and enthusiasm helped guide the industry for more than sixty years. With this award, his legacy will continue long into the future.”

Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH) is a national engineering firm that designs, investigates, and rehabilitates structures, building enclosures, and materials. Our award-winning work encompasses building, energy, civil/infrastructure, and science/defense projects in the United States, Canada, and more than thirty additional countries.
