The owners and executives of many small to mid-sized businesses are accountable as fiduciaries for their companies 401(k) plans. We often see situations where the fiduciaries do not have a solid grasp of exactly how much the plan is paying for 401k related services, says Kaye. Some owners even think their plan is free. Its important that they know what changes may be coming and what is at stake for their plan. AEPG has provided pension investment and administration services in a fiduciary capacity for over 20 years. Their research and experience in the 401k retirement plan area is extensive.
The abuses of the retirement plan industry has made me become a leading supporter of 401(k) fee transparency, as well as cutting down a plans sponsor cost and potential liability because I know the tricks of the trade, says Rosenbaum.
Massanova has conducted a series of seminars and has been a frequent keynote speaker at retirement industry meetings. Her areas of expertise include the Department of Labors (DOL) regulations as well as the implications of new accounting and auditing pronouncements and 403(b) plans to name a few.
