Group Benefits & Retirement Plans

A retirement plan has three constituencies with three different problems: the company that carries the fiduciary responsibility, the owner trying to put money away efficiently, and the employees who need someone to actually talk to. Most advisers serve the first and treat the other two as afterthoughts.

Who We Help

  • Companies and nonprofits sponsoring a 401(k), 403(b) or 457 plan
  • Plan committees who need documented process and fiduciary support
  • Owners who want the plan designed around what they can put away, not just compliance
  • Employers whose current adviser shows up once a year, if that
  • Companies preparing for a sale, where the plan has to be handled correctly in the transaction

What We Provide

  • 3(21) co-fiduciary or 3(38) investment manager services
  • Investment policy statement, menu design and documented ongoing monitoring
  • Fee benchmarking across recordkeeping, administration and investments
  • Provider search, plan conversions and payroll integration
  • Plan design — safe harbor, new comparability, cash balance layered over a 401(k)
  • Deferred compensation, including 457(b) and 457(f) for nonprofit executives
  • Group enrollment and re-enrollment meetings, on site and virtual, timed around shifts
  • One-on-one meetings for every employee — no minimum balance, at no cost to the company
  • Financial wellness workshops on budgeting, debt, student loans and first-time homebuying

Where We Go Further Than Most Plan Advisers

  • Outside 401(k)s and IRAs tracked, reviewed and managed at the same low fee as the plan, not our standard advisory rate
  • At retirement, the 401(k) can roll into an IRA we manage at that same plan fee, rather than a higher fee elsewhere
  • Allocation guidance for the fund lineup and any brokerage window in the plan
  • Retirement readiness and income gap analysis for individual participants
  • Social Security and Medicare timing as employees approach retirement

We are provider-agnostic and are not limited to those shown. Part of our work is benchmarking whether the recordkeeper you already have is still the right one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 3(21) and 3(38)?

Under 3(21) we act as a co-fiduciary and recommend investments while the plan sponsor keeps decision-making authority. Under 3(38) we are appointed investment manager and take discretion for selecting and monitoring the investments, moving more of that responsibility away from the committee.

How do you charge the company?

Plan advisory fees are disclosed in the service agreement and benchmarked against the market. The one-on-one employee meetings and the financial wellness education are included at no additional cost to the company.

Can employees get help even if they don’t invest with you?

Yes. Employee and participant services are available to every employee regardless of balance, salary, or whether they hold any account with us.

How is the plan treated if I sell the business?

It has to be decided before the deal closes — whether the plan terminates, merges into the buyer’s plan, or continues. Getting it wrong creates avoidable cost and compliance exposure, so we work it through with your deal team.
