Fiduciary Support

You’ll get comprehensive and ongoing fiduciary guidance, training, and support to help ensure you meet regulatory obligations designed to protect employees’ savings in the plan.

We also act as an ERISA 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary advisor to provide the ongoing investment management and guidance you need, along with educational resources that can help employees fully understand and value everything your plan provides.

Investment analysis

Manager selection – To meet our mutual fiduciary obligations to your plan participants, our proprietary due diligence process utilizes qualitative and quantitative data to analyze and select the most appropriate investment options for your retirement plan. Our in-house research department continually monitors all of our “best in class” fund selections to make sure any administrative changes or strategy changes that could affect investor outcomes are identified, so that we can assess these changes and make real-time recommendations.

Employee Engagement

Employee communication and education
We deliver highly customized plan content directly to your employees that not only motivates them to participate in your retirement plan, but also spurs them to increase contributions to and drive satisfaction for this important benefit.

Financial wellness
Leveraging behavioral economics, we engage participants in their overall financial wellness. We don’t simply provide education about financial topics. But rather, we offer materials that can help participants create simple steps to reduce debt, establish budgets, and save more for retirement.

Target Date Consulting

Leveraging an advanced risk-based suitability process, we help you identify a “best-fit” target date fund series that can be right for your plan.

Innovative Plan Design

Our team will conduct plan design assessments that strive to increase your benefits return on investment (ROI) and enhance retirement outcomes for your employees.

To establish the right framework for your retirement plan, we help you examine and make informed decisions about specific parameters that can meet your needs and goals, including:

Fee Benchmarking

Through a detailed RFP-driven process, you’re assured apple-to-apple comparisons of investment fund fees, which can help bolster your position when negotiating with investment fund managers you choose to include in your retirement plan.

There are other ways to limit potential liability. You can set your plan up to give participants control of the investments in their accounts. For participants to have control, they must have sufficient information on the specifics of their investment options. If properly executed, this type of plan limits your liability for the investment decisions made by participants. You can also hire a service provider or providers to handle some or most of the fiduciary functions, setting up the agreement so that the person or entity then assumes liability. https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-plan-fiduciary-responsibilities.
