How we do it
Our overall plan process begins with a thorough review of the goals and objectives of your retirement plans. We then complete a detailed review of the current documentation, practices and procedures to identify weaknesses, liability exposure and opportunities for improvement. We’ll then address the weaknesses and create a world-class solution.
A Synopsis of our Retirement Plan Review Process includes:
- Reviewing plan information for compliance with applicable laws, trust documents, and written investment policy statements (IPS);
- Documenting that roles and responsibilities of all involved parties (fiduciaries and non-fiduciaries) are defined, documented, and acknowledged;
- Verifying service agreements and contracts are in writing, and do not contain provisions that conflict with fiduciary standards of care;
- Implementing an IPS which contains the detail to define, implement, and manage a specific investment strategy;
- Implementing an investment strategy in compliance with the required level of prudence;
- Following a due diligence process in selecting service providers, including the custodian;
- Providing reports that compare investment performance against appropriate index, peer group, and IPS objectives; and
- Reviewing our effectiveness in meeting its fiduciary responsibilities.
