Manage Fiduciary Risk Through Investment Selection and Monitoring
Retirement plan regulations seem to be going through a never-ending cycle of revisions. Chief among most plan sponsors’ concerns is their level of fiduciary responsibility, and liability, for selecting and monitoring a retirement plan’s investment menu.
A key component of adhering to fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is ensuring that plan participants have the potential to create a well-diversified portfolio that may help minimize the risk of large losses (the diversification rule).

Retirement Management Systems offers discretionary and non-discretionary fiduciary services to plan sponsors for the selection and monitoring of the investment menu.
