4. How do you identify all of the ways you are exposed to liability as it pertains to the administration of the plan and selection of appropriate investment options?
5. Do you abide by the minimum required rules and regulations or have you defined a standard of excellence and followed published best practices?
6. Are you maintaining a documented process to help you prove that you have performed your fiduciary duties routinely, over time?
7. How do you measure and monitor the success of your plan from your employees' perspective?
8. What amount of flexibility do participants have in creating their own portfolio or selecting a managed portfolio based upon their risk and return requirements?
9. How can you prove that fees, expenses, and administration costs associated with your plan are prudent?

Our Process

We start by asking the question: What are you looking for in an employer-sponsored retirement plan?

This sparks a discussion that helps us uncover the leadership values of your business and the type of plan that will best suit your needs. A well-managed employer-sponsored retirement plan is built on good fundamentals, including a clear and detailed understanding of your goals, circumstances and needs. Once we have developed a foundation that represents the culture of your organization, we follow our process designed to help guide you and your employees toward a successful retirement. You and your employees will experience our rigorously researched and implemented investment strategies combined with employee education opportunities, a responsive team, and access to resources for getting the most from your retirement plan.

Leave the heavy-lifting to us, and spend your time focusing on the management of your company. We will guide you through our process and be with you each step of the way.

The process is adjusted when we serve as a fiduciary 3(38) investment manager for non-fiduciary advisors, but our dedication to helping address your needs and the needs of your plan still remain.
