Ongoing Services

With over 30 years of combined experience implementing pension plans, we provide the following ongoing services to provide high quality, affordable retirement plans to our clients.

Plan Design

We help you to design your plan by explaining the specific advantages and disadvantages for each plan parameter. Our experience makes us adept at explaining to you each area of plan design and assisting in choosing options which most closely align with your goals. We offer prototypes as well as individually designed plans. We also handle all ongoing review and compliance revision.

Communication

We provide on-going education via group meetings that educate employees on the plan features and investment options. Our investment education includes discussions on risk vs. reward, how the market works, future retirement needs, the future of social security, and the importance of asset allocation. Most employees do not realize that proper or improper asset allocation accounts for over 90% of a portfolio's return. We assist your employees in determining which asset allocation model best meets their goals.

We are available to meet with participants and new employees at the Plan Sponsor's convenience. Our automated phone and web-based systems are ongoing communication tools that enhance participant's quarterly statements by providing up-to-date information and instant access to their account. Participants can request projections and order forms over the phone or the web.

Investment Options

We provide consulting services to assist you in arranging an investment selection that best suits your employee's needs. Your options begin with a list of over 1,000 no load mutual funds. We can recommend an Investment Manager or provide the Plan Sponsor with independent rating service reports to finalize the selection.

We perform administrative services for brokerage firms, insurance companies and independent financial planners. Because of our experience working directly with investment professionals, many of them refer their clients to us.

Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive service available today.
