Fiduciary Services
An important part of our role is to assist and guide the Trustee of the Plan in meeting their Fiduciary obligations. We understand the liability issues faced by the Plan Trustees and have built our services with this in mind. The first part of our process is to ensure that our clients recognize and comply with Section 404(c). The second part of our process is to help you establish a Fiduciary Manual for the Plan. Inside this manual will be the Plan’s written Investment Policy, Minutes for the Annual Trustee Due Diligence Meeting, Investment Portfolio Manager Monitoring results, and current Tax and Pension Law Changes. We are viewed as a resource for Plan Trustees; we help the trustees keep the Plan current and in compliance with applicable law.

Communication Services
Planning for retirement, making investment decisions, and understanding how to maximize the benefits of the retirement plan can be an intimidating process for most employees. Because we have been involved in most aspects of the overall Plan design, we are best suited to help communicate its features and benefits to your employees. With daily access to participant accounts and a dedicated service team for each of our Plans, we can help your employees make informed decisions.

Investment Education Services
As financial professionals we understand investments. We share our education and experience with your employees through continuing onsite educational meetings. Our Asset Management Group will address the fundamentals of investing, asset allocation, risk profiling and answer questions related to the particular investment options.
