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
