Shared Fiduciary Responsibility.
The role of a Plan Advisor and Co-Fiduciary is a highly involved set of services which require a wide range of expertise and – to do it well – a deep understanding of your company, its employees, and also financial management. RSG brings a highly personalized approach to these tasks.
Since our inception in 2005, we have dedicated ourselves to the tenets of being a stated co-fiduciary. It is often an overlooked value to adhere strictly to the fiduciary principles of keeping the plan’s interest as the primary arbiter and ensuring no conflicts of interest. Our long history has shown the benefits of this approach.
These services are typically provided using a benchmarked advisory fee that is able to be billed to plan participants or directly to the plan sponsor. RSG embraces full fee transparency and encourages fee disclosure at the participant statements level.
