Fiduciary
Email
PrintBeing a fiduciary is a serious undertaking with wide-ranging consequences. Others are putting their trust and faith in you to act in their best interest. As a fiduciary of a qualified retirement plan, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) endows you with enormous responsibility and requires that you follow a stringent set of rules.
Our goal is to help you understand what is expected of you as a fiduciary and to provide insights on how to perform your duties to the best of your ability. At times, however, it will require that you seek the advice of someone well versed in the issue(s) at hand. The impact or outcome of your actions is often not immediate, so the use of sound judgment based on the available facts and the input you receive is important. As long as you perform your duties with the best interests of participants and beneficiaries in mind, you will be on solid ground.
With a sound fiduciary foundation as the basis for our strategic consulting framework, Building the Best Plans in America, we believe it is imperative that you have access to our best thinking on current Fiduciary topics. In addition to our best thinking, we provide consultation, tools and resources to our valued clients to assist them in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities.
The content within this section is merely a starting point for you to build a knowledge base to help you be a successful fiduciary. We will add content from time to time, so we encourage you to visit the site periodically to see what is new. We hope you find it useful.
