We examine the areas most likely to affect your employees' retirement outcomes — and your exposure as a plan sponsor.
Benchmark your plan's cost-per-participant against comparable plans in your industry and region.
Confirm your plan governance, investment policy statement, and committee documentation are in order.
Review fund options, expense ratios, and whether participants have access to appropriate diversification.
Assess participation rates, deferral levels, and whether employees are on track for a secure retirement.
Understand what your current adviser is being paid — directly and indirectly — and what services you're receiving.
Identify whether auto-enrolment, auto-escalation, or matching structures could improve outcomes at no added cost.
These are screening observations — not findings of wrongdoing. A review helps establish the facts.
