Responsibilities of being a plan sponsor

as you know, there’s a lot to know.

You got into business because you have an expertise, talent and knowledge related to your business. But as soon as you become a plan sponsor by offering a retirement plan to your employees, you are suddenly thrust into wearing another hat that you, in all likelihood, don’t have time to wear – that of being a fiduciary.

An investment fiduciary is someone who is managing the assets of another person and therefore stands in a special relationship of trust, confidence, and/or legal responsibility. The Prudent Practices represent a standard of excellence that can be the foundation of the trust placed in them by investors.

How happy are you with your current plan?

Are you gettting the service you deserve? At Anchor Bay, we pride ourselves on our personal service. We treat our clients as we would like to be treated. But you don’t have to take our word for it. We have a slew of testimonials that prove we do an outstanding job. Another question to ask yourself is how satisfied you are with the fees you’re paying. Once you do your homework, you may find that you’re being charged a lot more than you should. At Anchor Bay, we’re totally transparent, and we’re happy for you to compare our fees to the ones you’re currently paying.
