We are proud to provide our clients access to cutting-edge 401(k) resources to ensure the plan is operating in an efficient and transparent manner. When we meet with our 401(k) clients face-to-face quarterly or bi-annually, we leverage these critical tools:

  • 3(21) or 3(38) Co-fiduciary Monitoring System
  • Fiduciary Vault – Stores meeting minutes and plan documents
  • Pension Resource Institute – Provides fiduciary education and resources to plan sponsors
  • Fee Comparison and Analysis – Enables a transparent fee structure
  • Fund Lineup Comparison – Allows performance comparison of fund lineup

Cash Balance Pension Plans

A Cash Balance Plan is a qualified retirement plan that is granted tax deferral and creditor protection under ERISA. Those who adopt a Cash Balance Plan normally share these traits: 

  • Partners or owners who desire to contribute more than $60,000 a year to retirement
  • Own a closely-held business with no or few employees
  • Are looking for ways to decrease the business’ current taxable income
  • Strive reward a certain portion of their staff as an effective recruiting tool

Cash Balance Plans are not suitable for everyone, but when appropriate, it is a powerful retirement and tax strategy. We invite you to explore more on our website to determine if a Cash Balance Plan makes sense for your firm.
