Evaluating and monitoring a 401(k) plan is a time-consuming endeavor that can absorb
valuable time of in-house management if self-performed. Important Human Resources
and Finance department responsibilities may suffer and the 401(k) evaluation process
may not be as complete as an Advisor led evaluation. Capitalizing on the experience and expertise of a qualified 401(k) advisor to thoroughly lead you through the entire 401(k) plan evaluation process will prevent adding unnecessary time demands and responsibility on your Staff.
