We understand the critical importance of fiduciary compliance. In choosing to serve as a co-fiduciary, we go beyond simply making recommendations; we take legal responsibility for our service and advice. See how we help ensure fiduciary compliance and mitigate liability risks with your retirement plan.

Important Roles of a Fiduciary for Retirement Plans

The fiduciary of a corporate retirement program has certain defined duties and responsibilities for maintaining compliance. As co-fiduciaries, we assist with these requirements, including:

Fees
Funds
Participant Function
Plan Function
Fiduciary Duty

Fees

Fiduciaries must ensure all plan fees are reasonable. We conduct regular, documented fee reviews that go beyond a simple spreadsheet. We evaluate fees relative to services to help you see the complete picture.

Funds

Fiduciaries must demonstrate prudence in managing the plan’s investment menu. Our recommendations are based on a rigorous investment selection and monitoring process.

Participant Function

Fiduciaries must ensure participants have resources and support to make informed decisions. Our innovative financial wellness program, MoneyNav, is tailored to your workforce to help ensure employees have knowledge and confidence when making financial decisions.

Plan Function

You want a plan custom built for you. Our freedom from proprietary constraints allows us to offer impartial and objective advice to your committee.

Fiduciary Duty

Fiduciaries accept personal liability for the operation of the retirement plan. As your co-fiduciary, we accept liability for the outcome of our service and advice.
