Fiduciary Governance & Stewardship
We offer both ERISA 3(21) and 3(38) fiduciary services.
For clients who select ERISA 3(38) fiduciary protection we will:
- Have complete discretion and control over the investment options included in the Plan
- Accept the full burden of responsibility for the investment decisions and the related liability
For clients that desire the more limited protection of an ERISA 3(21) fiduciary we will:
- Provide investment consulting and advice to the retirement plan committee
- Recommend a menu of investment options based on the criteria contained in the investment policy statement
- Monitor the investment choices and notify the committee when a change is prudent
For all clients we will:
- Assist in formalizing a retirement plan committee
- Assist in the development of a "best practices" program and process
- Train committee memebers on their fiduciary responsiblities
- Monitor and benchmark plan fees for all services providers on an annual basis
