As a sponsor and fiduciary to your company’s 401(k) plan, you have a responsibility to help ensure plan performance and success. The quality of your 401(k) plan will impact your employees’ ability to retire well. Here are a few questions to help you evaluate how you are meeting your fiduciary responsibilities:
- Are your plan’s fees reasonable and competitive with the marketplace? Are you able to show documentation of this?
- Have you benchmarked your plan in the past two years to compare the cost, services, and investment opportunities?
- Do you have a process to evaluate, select, and monitor fund performance? Is it documented?
- Are you encouraging participant enrollment and providing adequate education?
- Have you verified that your plan is ERISA compliant?
