The Plans We Support
When fiduciary responsibility requires more than vendor support.
You oversee a plan with $50-$250 million in assets. You carry fiduciary responsibility under ERISA and you need a partner who shares this responsibility—not a product vendor. We provide the technical knowledge and guidance to help fulfill your oversight obligations, even if your organization doesn’t have investment backgrounds.
Plan types we support:
How we support you.
Fiduciary Education and Training
We help you understand your responsibilities under ERISA and establish governance processes that work for your organization. Education is ongoing, especially as committee membership changes.
Investment Policy Development
We create and update investment policy statements that provide clear governance structure while maintaining flexibility for changing market conditions.
Investment Menu Design
We develop participant investment options that provide diversification across asset classes, risk levels, and management styles—designed to serve the diverse needs of your participant base.
Investment Manager Selection and Monitoring
We conduct institutional-level due diligence on investment managers through quantitative and qualitative analysis. All research is produced internally. We don’t rely on approved vendor lists. Ongoing monitoring ensures your selections remain appropriate.
Quarterly Performance Reporting
Comprehensive performance reports that give you perspective on fund performance, fees, and how participants are actually using the plan.
Plan Benchmarking
We compare your plan’s investment options, fees, and recordkeeping services against relevant peer groups to ensure you remain competitive.
Vendor Relationship Management
We coordinate with recordkeepers and service providers to ensure efficient operations and appropriate service levels.
Participant Education
Annual participant education meetings covering retirement planning fundamentals, investment selection, and plan features.
New Participant Enrollment Support
We help new participants understand plan features and investment options during the enrollment process.
Committee Meeting Facilitation
We facilitate regular meetings, prepare agendas and materials, and help document decisions that support prudent governance.
Our Distinction
When you need partners, not product distributors.
We operate exclusively as fiduciaries. We receive no compensation from investment managers or fund companies. Our compensation comes directly from the plan sponsor or the plan, aligning our interests with yours and your participants.
We conduct our own investment research rather than relying on approved vendor lists. We provide direct access to the professionals conducting analysis and share fiduciary responsibility.
Our work also gives us a unique perspective. We serve individual clients approaching retirement, which gives us real-world insight into what participants actually face—not just committee-level theory. This experience informs how we help you design and manage your plan.
