We’re an Unbiased Fiduciary to Put Your Interests First
Every employer is responsible for ensuring their 401(k) is run in the best interest of its employees. We’re not a fund provider, so we take a balanced, unbiased view of selecting, reviewing and adjusting the fund roster for what we deem as suitable for retirement investing. When it comes to the investment offerings, a regular review of investments is required to provide a diverse, cost-effective lineup that helps minimize the chance of large losses. We take on this fiduciary duty for your plan, saving you time and energy by leveraging experts and tools that may be unavailable to companies doing this work internally. It also takes the investment roster management fiduciary risk and burden off your shoulders.
