Retirement Plan Sponsor
How do plan sponsors know if they are meeting their fiduciary responsibilities?
- Are you aware of all participant account fees, and have they been clearly explained to participants?
- Has your advisor monitored fund performances compared to appropriate benchmarks?
- Are your employees properly educated on how to select investment allocations within their retirement plan?
- Do your employees have either too many or not enough options from which to select to achieve effective diversification?
There are thousands of mutual funds and hundreds of retirement plan platforms. How do plan sponsors know if their selections are based upon a disciplined, long-term objective?
