Retirement Plan Sponsors

Providing conflict-free advice grounded in solid research and leading-edge analytical capability is essential. The goal includes exceeding expectations while helping clients create a framework for prudent oversight, improve performance and reduce expenses.

Retirement plan sponsors undertake significant potential personal liability under ERISA. They are faced with bewildering and ever-changing regulations, and may encounter difficulty in finding and overseeing suitable/appropriate money managers, information overload and the inability to unravel and negotiate vendor pricing. Our associates improve all areas of plan management by providing services that include:

Goal Setting and Investment Policy Development
Asset/Liability Studies
Cost/Benefit Analysis
Asset Allocation Studies
Investment Manager/Fund Search
Administration/Trustee Search
Fee Analysis and Negotiation
Participant Education
Performance Evaluation
