To help you minimize the amount of work you have to do, we also offer a number of services designed to help you reduce your fiduciary liability, optimize company retirement plan contributions to achieve objectives, and evaluate your plan service providers, including:
Fiduciary Services
Liability is a significant concern for many business owners. Plan sponsors often struggle to address the challenges of regulatory and ERISA compliance, manage fiduciary risk, and adequately prepare participants for retirement. We adhere to the highest standards of fiduciary excellence in the investment selection process and assist with the preparation and review of investment policy statements, vendor searches, investment performance measurement, and fee benchmarking, among other services.
Benchmarking
We want you to be comfortable with what you are paying for the cost of the investments, recordkeeping, and administration of your plan. To determine the competitiveness of your plan and other available options, we provide due diligence market analysis and independent cost benchmarking on a regular basis. By doing so, we can leverage a potential cost reduction for you from your service providers.
Key Man Planning
It is important for business owners to protect their business. Key man insurance is life insurance on a key employee or partner, with the business serving as the beneficiary. With this insurance, you may be able to offset a risk by reimbursing your business for economic losses that occur when a key executive of the company dies. We can help you determine your business’ key personnel and evaluate options for this liability.
Succession Planning
It is important to have a plan for when you eventually exit your business, whether it’s selling, going public, or transferring it to a family member. A succession plan is critical for ensuring a smooth transition and organized transfer of ownership. We believe a succession plan should address multiple concerns and goals, including your business owner retirement objectives and desire to protect against unexpected occurrences. We can develop a succession plan designed to help you retire on your schedule and efficiently transfer your business to a buyer or successor.
