Benchmarking plan provider services, investment opportunities and total plan fees can overwhelm even the most diligent plan sponsor. We shoulder the responsibility of a thorough market analysis, offering guidance and support throughout the process. Selecting and monitoring service providers is one of the most important duties that retirement plan sponsors and fiduciaries must make. ERISA Section 404(a) states that plan fiduciaries must determine and document reasonableness of plan fees and case law has clearly identified that this is most prudently accomplished through a robust "live bid" process every three to five years, or sooner if plan characteristics change substantially or a provider change is needed.
