Investment Advisory Services
As ERISA Plan fiduciaries, the duty to act prudently and in the best interest of the Participants is at the core of the fiduciary standard. We proactively manage this duty for our clients through our investment advisory / investment management process.
Upon assessing a Plan's demographics, time horizon and risk tolerance we will assist in the creation of the Plan's Investment Policy Statement (IPS) which will be used to select the investment menu as well as set the benchmarks for monitoring investment performance.
We will:
- Design a specific investment lineup / fund menu based on the criteria contained in the IPS
- Provide continuous oversight of the plan's investments with complete documentation of our process
- Replace underperforming investments
- Provide quarterly investment performance and due diligence scorecard to ensure comformity with the goals contained in the IPS. Investment Monitoring Report.
- Design and distribute any required participant notices or communications regarding the investments
- Conduct a quarterly WebEx by our in house investment committee to review current market conditions, significant changes in our fund list, upcoming regulatory changes and other topics of interest
