Learn the best practices to enhance your 401(k) and to help your employees save for retirement.
Many 401(k) Plan Sponsors struggle to help their employees increase their savings rates and make proper investment decisions to improve their chances for a successful retirement. This topic will provide a best practices review and overview of ERISA fiduciary concepts that impact the way your 401(k) Plan is structured and operates. It will focus on the fiduciary process and techniques of automatic enrollment, auto escalation, re-enrollment, the use of Qualified Default Investment Alternatives, the hiring and monitoring of service providers, fees and expense benchmarking, investment due diligence issues, and any relevant regulatory and legal issues. The information will be presented in a clear, easy to understand format to permit sponsors to improve 401(k) participant outcomes and protect the company decision makers. It will cover the basics of the federal laws in easy to grasp language. You will have an opportunity to share your concerns and possible resolutions with the presenter, a professional experienced in fiduciary process, benchmarking, and investments.
