Register Now for the 4th Annual Qualified Plan Fiduciary Summit
Wednesday June 13, 2012

To our knowledge, Qualified Plan Advisors offers the most comprehensive and fully integrated fiduciary services and participant services model in the industry today. Providing ERISA 3(38) Investment Manager Fiduciary Services to plans, which help plan sponsors legally discharge their investment liability to a third party, is an integral part to your plan finding success. While more advisors have entered this services arena, this has been a staple of our business model for years. Yet, we know of no other Investment Advisors that will serve in this capacity on BOTH the plan AND participant levels.

"Qualified Plan Advisors, bringing a Fiduciary Partner
to both the Plan And Participant Level"

Plan Level Services:

• Ongoing Investment Policy Statement (IPS) Design and Maintenance
• Core Funds IPS Compliance
• Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting of Core Funds
• Discretionary Core Funds Management
• Fund Replacement/Addition Management
• Quarterly Trustee Reviews and Documentation
•  Investment Committee Bi-Law Design and Management 
• Vendor Relationship Management

OR

ERISA 3(21) Fiduciary Services (i.e. Co-Fiduciary Services), providing:

• Ongoing Investment Policy Statement (IPS) Recommendations
• Core Funds IPS Compliance
• Ongoing Monitoring and Reporting of Core Funds
• Fund Replacement/Addition Recommendations
• Quarterly Trustee Reviews and Documentation
• Investment Committee Bi-Law Design Recommendations
• Vendor Relationship Management

Participant Level Services:

•  ERISA 3(38) Investment Manager Fiduciary Risk-Based Models-As opposed to entrusting 100% of your participants money in one mutual fund family in a Target-Date Fund, we give them an option of Risk-Based Allocations, where no more than 25% of the money is invested in any one "mutual fund" family, ensuring proper diversification and helping the plan sponsor reduce liability.
  
  
• Ongoing On-Site Enrollment and Education Meetings from our over 100 team members,-Websites have many great tools, unfortunately it is statistically proven that a small fraction of participants use them. While the vendors build a great chassis for the participants to ride on, we meet with them in groups or individually, to help your participants steer their retirement vehicle to a successful retirement.
  
  
•  GAP Analysis Reports produced annually and delivered confidentially to each and every participant to help them ensure they are saving enough to replace the necessary income they will need in retirement. No single factor is more important to your participants reaching retirement than choosing the proper savings amount. Yet, we are unaware of any other advisory firm or vendor where this is a service they offer consistently.
  
  
•  Customized Education Materials to help provide targeted communications based on age, risk tolerance, and current market conditions.            
        
• Risk Profile Assessment
  Risk tolerance information is requested from every participant. Participants that do not take the time to complete this information are defaulted into the Qualified Default Investment Alternative (QDIA), hence providing a fiduciary protection for you, the Plan Sponsor. DALBAR* studies have proven that participants have underperformed the markets by over 6% PER YEAR for the past 20 years, yet we are unaware of any other advisor that requires risk tolerance information to be obtained, leaving the Plan Sponsor open to substantial liability.
