Your plan and how you manage it is falling under intense scrutiny—not only from participants but also from the regulatory bodies that are responsible for protecting participants' best interests. We can share much of this fiduciary responsibility with you and implement a disciplined process to better manage your fiduciary obligations.
With us as your partner, you can choose from a virtually unlimited universe of providers, free from any proprietary vendor or product pressures or conflicts of interest. We will simply help you select the provider that best fits the needs of your firm and your participants.
Our customized Request for Proposal (RFP) process includes:
- Gathering data and pricing
- Analyzing costs, services, and investment choices
- Facilitating finalist meetings
Once your plan is in place, you can expect:
- Monitoring of participation levels and performance
- Fee benchmarking and analysis against other vendors and plans
- Guidance on areas of improvement
