Why Use Greenlight RPC?
A prudently managed and monitored retirement plan is in everyone’s best interest.
Becoming a fiduciary for your organization's retirement plan is a great responsibility. Many plan sponsors rely on their record keeper for all their retirement plan information. This may work well for a lot of administrative information. However when it comes to fees and the quality of investments, the potential for a conflict of interest between the client and the record keeper makes it unwise to rely on record keeper information alone.
The potential downside of an improperly managed plan can be very costly to both the employees and the employer and potentially put the employer in legal jeopardy.
Market watch: 401(k) lawsuits are surging. Here is what it means for you.
Retirement plan lawsuits generally fall into three categories:
- Excessive fees.
- Improper investments.
- Self-dealing (often the result of relying on advice that is not independent).
Lawsuits in the non-profit market space (403(b) and 457 plans) are on the rise as well, as 20 well-known universities and many others are increasingly finding out.
Investment news: University of Chicago settles 403(b) lawsuit for $6.5 million
The U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") requires an expertise in investments to meet your fiduciary obligations. If your organization lacks that expertise, the DOL advises that you hire a professional.
At Greenlight RPC, we have the professional expertise and experience to help you create a diversified and well-managed retirement plan with clear deliberation and meticulous documentation in place for meeting your legal fiduciary obligations.
