Employers carry fiduciary liability when they sponsor a plan for their employees. As your advisor, we also serve as a fiduciary to your plan.
We can serve as a fiduciary either as a consultant under a non-discretionary 3(21) fiduciary status or as a manager under a discretionary 3(38) fiduciary arrangement. We have experience working with a variety of plans (defined contribution, defined benefit, and non-qualified plans).
We understand that employers, or plan sponsors, are more interested in spending time growing their businesses rather than in managing employee benefits.
It’s our commitment to simplify the work of Employers and Trustees. We do this by providing a well-defined and structured service platform to address the responsibilities of plan fiduciaries, along with limiting their time commitment.
It’s our commitment to simplify the work of Employers and Trustees.
In addition to covering their compliance obligations, we work with clients to assure the plan design and investments help both the employer and employees pursue their objectives – this includes providing a meaningful, cost-effective, and valued employee benefit.
