Business Owner Solutions
401(k) | Retirement Plans | Employee Benefits
Differentiate your 401(k) plan from others in the industry.
If you are looking for ways to help better protect yourself as the plan fiduciary while enhancing your plan for your employees, consider the following key points:
Proper Retirement Plan Design
Tailor your plan according to your company’s needs and objectives. It is always about designing the right plan, not just buying a ‘standardized’ solution. An example may include allowing higher contributions to the business owner, key personnel, or those next-in-line. Another aspect might be structuring the plan to add incentives for your key employees as a means to help retain them.
Protection for the Business Owner, Plan Trustee or Plan Fiduciary
There are exposures that those who offer plans aren’t even aware of. This aspect of helping alleviate fiduciary exposures and helping protect the company and its trustee(s) is not common in most 401(k)s today. All too often business owners and plan trustees have a misconception that this is already ‘being done for them’, leaving themselves exposed to the inherent risks that come with offering a plan to their employees.
Access to Tactical Management to Provide a Defensive Strategy for Employee Accounts
Having a defensive strategy in your employees’ accounts can help reduce risks of losses during major market downturns like the ones experienced in 2008 and most recently, the declines caused by this health crisis. This allows employees to participate when markets are favorable, but then provides them with defensive strategies when markets are unfavorable, helping employees be better protected. This one aspect alone has been found very timely in the current environment we are living in.
Access to Individual Fiduciary-Based Financial Advice
Get dedicated account and relationship managers, in addition to having access to licensed advisors for one-on-one financial strategy meetings for your employees, done either on- or off-site or even virtually. These individualized planning meetings are a unique aspect of service offering because licensed advisors can actually render advice and guidance to your employees on financial matters beyond just their 401(k)s. This includes discussions around budgeting, proper insurance protection, ensuring adequate reserves and most importantly, properly planning for their future with a focus on providing clarity on the steps they need to do. This focus around increasing participant education helps your employees become better engaged and can help improve plan participation.
The individualized planning sessions come at no incremental costs to your employees and is part of our service to our clients.
