Retirement Plan Design

We’ll examine the state of your current retirement plan and make recommendations to rebuild its framework. An updated plan can help you eliminate 401(k) testing, determine eligibility requirements, attract and retain high-quality employees, and control your overall costs.

You can find more helpful information by accessing our guide on Early Retirement where you can learn what to do if you want to retire in the next few years.

Reasonable Fees

When is the last time you benchmarked your plan against similar ones? Since your employees can choose to evaluate plan fees from other public resources, it’s important to keep them engaged with your employer-sponsored plan. Our advisors will ensure your fees stack up against others in the industry.

Disciplined Investment Strategy

Your company retirement plan is complex. We believe having a disciplined investment strategy in place can safeguard you against market volatility.

Fiduciary Reviews

The role of plan sponsors comes with high fiduciary risk. With our Fiduciary Plan Review, we'll establish a structure for managing your responsibilities. You’ll learn to create, maintain, execute documented processes that mitigate your risk.

Employee Engagement

Educated employees are more likely to participate in all aspects of your corporate retirement plan. Our financial planning workshops can lead your staff through a process that touches on budgeting, investing, managing expenses, and understanding the components of all their benefits.
