Fees and Benchmarking:

Our mission is to enhance retirement plan fee transparency for plan sponsors, promoting clarity and value for participants.

Key factors in benchmarking 401(k) plan design include:

Plan Type: Assessing various 401(k) plan types (traditional, safe harbor, automatic enrollment) to ensure suitability and value alignment for the organization and participants.
Plan Match: Evaluating employer contribution matching ensures competitiveness and participant value.
Plan Vesting: Reviewing vesting schedules ensures competitiveness and participant value.
Plan Investment Options: Analyzing investment choices ensures diversity, suitability, and competitive pricing.
Plan Fees: Assessing administrative, investment, and advisor fees ensures reasonableness and competitiveness.
Plan Communication and Education: Reviewing participant communication and education ensures informed and motivated participation in retirement savings.

Benchmarking against industry peers provides actionable insights to optimize 401(k) plans, fostering competitiveness and better employee retirement outcomes.
