Helping Companies Do What's Right

Our Corporate Clients

We have been working with companies for over 20 years helping them establish, review and monitor their retirement plans. Our goal is to create successful retirement plan outcomes for plan sponsors and plan participants that meet their unique objectives. We work closely with plan sponsors addressing the many significant issues they face including complying with retirement plan regulations and managing risk, adhering to fiduciary responsibilities, managing plan fees, offering competitive funds and preparing participants to retire when you need them to retire.   Given that the regulatory landscape is complex, it is that much more important that employers partner with a firm that has the knowledge, resources and process developed to deliver the best possible retirement plan solution. Our independence and expertise have enabled us to do just that with our clients.

Plan Sponsors: Have You Asked Yourself Any of These Questions Lately?

  • How does the DOL Fiduciary Rule effects your 401(k) plan? 
  • How does the suitability rule differ from the fiduciary rule? 
  • Is your plan advisor equipped to be a fiduciary?  Is your plan compliant?
  • Have you benchmarked your fees in the last two years? 
  • Have you conducted an official RFP for your plan in the last 3-5 years? 
  • Do you know if you are getting the best pricing, fund quality and services possible?

If you answered "No" to any of these questions, it might be time to review your Plan.
