Retirement Plan Oversight

Business Owners & Plan Sponsors

As plan complexity grows, decisions around design, compliance, and participant outcomes begin to interact in ways that are harder to manage without a coordinated approach.

Plan Sponsor Advisory

If Your Plan Were Reviewed Today,
Could You Demonstrate How Every Decision Was Made?

Most plan sponsors cannot. That is not a compliance gap. Under ERISA, it is a personal liability.

Sponsoring a retirement plan makes you a fiduciary. Not in a general sense. In a legally enforceable one. Every investment decision, every fee paid, every provider selected carries your name. If those decisions cannot be documented, justified, and demonstrated to hold up under review, the exposure is yours.

What unstructured oversight actually looks like

The plan may be running.
That does not mean it is defensible.

Fees that have never been benchmarked against comparable plans
Investment decisions made without a documented rationale
No record of when the plan was reviewed or what was evaluated
Service providers selected without a documented selection process
Plan design decisions that have never been reviewed against participant outcomes
Under ERISA, the standard is not whether you meant well. It is whether you can demonstrate that you acted prudently.
Is this the right conversation

We work with plan sponsors who want their oversight
to hold up, not just appear to.

You sponsor a 401(k) or defined contribution plan with 5 to 250+ employees
You do not currently have a structured governance process or documentation rhythm
You are not certain your plan fees are benchmarked or your documentation is current
You are approaching a transition: growth, ownership change, or succession, and want the plan structure to be clean
You want proactive advisory engagement, not reactive support when something goes wrong
Our role

We build the structure behind how your fiduciary responsibility
is carried out, documented, and demonstrated over time.

Our advisory work is not periodic check-ins or reactive support. It is a defined governance system that brings structure, documentation discipline, and consistent oversight to your plan throughout the year.

We support the fiduciary. We do not replace it. The responsibility remains yours. What we provide is the process, the documentation, and the evidence that it was carried out properly.

This is not a transactional relationship. It is a defined advisory engagement with consistent touchpoints, structured deliverables, and a documented record of how the plan is being governed.

Under ERISA, plan sponsors remain responsible for:
Acting solely in the interest of plan participants
Following the plan document and applicable law
Diversifying plan investments to minimize risk
Paying only reasonable plan expenses
Selecting and monitoring service providers prudently
Our advisory support is designed to help you document and demonstrate fulfillment of these responsibilities through a structured process.
The starting point

A structured review. A clear picture.
A defined next step.

01
Governance Review

We apply our seven-area framework to your current plan and surface where structure is strong, where it is incomplete, and where exposure may exist. No disruption to existing providers. No product replacement pressure.

02
Advisory Structure

If deeper engagement is warranted, we establish the Longevity360™ governance rhythm: defined review cycles, documentation discipline, fee benchmarking, and investment monitoring aligned with your Investment Policy Statement.

03
Ongoing Oversight

Consistent touchpoints, structured deliverables, and a documented record of how the plan is being governed across the year. Oversight that holds up because it was built to hold up.

The next step

See the full advisory framework
before deciding whether to act.

The Longevity360™ system outlines exactly how plan governance is structured, what is evaluated, and how oversight is documented over time. Most plan sponsors find that seeing the framework is enough to know whether their current approach is sufficient.

No obligation. No changes required to your current plan or providers.
