LPL Small Market Solutions (SMS)
Employers play a dual role in their company-sponsored retirement plan— no matter how many (or how few) participants they have. Because they are both plan sponsor and plan fiduciary, they have many duties… and they face many types of risks. They are responsible for:
- Selecting an appropriate investment menu
- Strict adherence to the plan’s written documents and guidelines
- Adequate training and proper oversight of all service providers
- Helping employees understand why and how to save
Communicating with participants about the plan and its fees Plan sponsors need help from a qualified retirement specialist they can trust.
