SERVICE MODEL

All retirement plans are maintained by a combination of three service providers. While all three play an important role, it is the advisor who guides the plan sponsor to choose the administrator and record keeper and orchestrates the relationship. The advisor will be the main contact between the plan sponsor and the other providers.
