As a 401(k) adviser, my mission is to help: • Help workers pursue their idea of financial independence (retirement) • Protect owners, CEO, CFO and HR, from the personal risks they face in managing the plan, • Manage direct and indirect cost costs My “6 Steps to Managing Fiduciary Risk Process” incorporates retirement readiness with your options to manage fiduciary liability that exposes you to personal risk. My approach starts with a different attitude. My compassionate approach looks at your plan through the lens of retirement readiness of various age, income, gender and racial demographics. I use these demographics to help advise you on your investment monitoring and plan feature selection, such as automatic enrollment and employee advice. I help educate you on the various profit sharing, Plan savings design options that can potentially increase contributions to owners and select classes of employees. These options can help address the unique savings needs of the highly compensated. My 6 Steps to Managing Fiduciary Risk includes options for investment monitoring. You may want to consider including socially responsible investments (SRI) for personal reasons or a way to further engage your employees in your retirement plan. My investment monitoring process for including SRI sometimes referred to as Environmental, Social and Governance investing was highlighted in Forbes.
