What Makes Us Unique
We absorb as much of the ERISA 3(16) Plan Administrator and ERISA 402(a) Named Fiduciary risk as is allowed by law by removing you, the Plan Sponsor, from the plan document. This is what sets us apart from the majority of our competitors.

The Risk is Real
The Following real-life examples illustrate the potential liability of sponsoring a retirement plan
Plan sponsor failed to follow the automatic enrollment provisions as stipulated in the plan document, resulting in over $60,000 of penalties and corrections.
Participants in plans of all sizes are successfully filing class-action lawsuits against plan sponsors who breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by allowing excessive administrative and investment fees to be charged.
COO of a mid-sized company approved a fraudulent in-service distribution in the name of an inactive co-owner. A total of $130,000 was approved and distributed before the fraud was detected.
Retain our Outsource?
Anyone responsible for managing a qualified retirement plan bears the ultimate fiduciary responsibility for all that goes on inside that plan. To determine if outsourcing some or all fiduciary responsibility makes sense, we recommend plan sponsors consider one of the following questions:
Do you have the knowledge and expertise to maintain compliance and effectively manage your retirement plan?
Is your retirement plan effective at providing adequate benefits to your employees so they can retire with dignity?
Would it be a more effective use of administrative / HR staff time to outsource the management and operational responsibilities of the plan to a team of professionals?
