Risk Management

ERISA Fiduciary Training

Preparing new and existing fiduciaries for their duties has long been a concern for plan sponsors. According to the Profit Sharing Council of America, one of the first things the Department of Labor asks when auditing a company is if its fiduciaries have received training. ERISA attorneys and retirement plan advisors strongly recommend that retirement plan fiduciaries have ongoing fiduciary training.


Our comprehensive online fiduciary training program was developed in conjunction with Wagner Law Group, for retirement plan committee members.. The goals and objectives of this program are:

Risk Mitigation
Successful Outcomes
Achievement Based
Accountability
Convenience
Efficiency
Fast Onboarding

Global Retirement Partners, Strategic Retirement Partners and LPL Financial are not affiliated with Wagner Law Group.

Thoughtful Plan Design Review

It is well substantiated that engaging and educating employees, while important, is simply not enough to change saving behavior. We believe that the answer to getting us all to save enough and be ready for retirement lies at the intersection of plan design and participant engagement. If we help you get your plan designed right, we can help get your participants started on the right path towards a fulfilling retirement. Our Plan Design Optimizer does exactly that. By optimizing the "Choice Architecture" where key decisions are made, it can have a significant impact on participant outcomes; well beyond a comprehensive education program alone. Using our proprietary Total Retirement Outcome Analyzer we can review the design options available, estimate the impact to savings rates, and help you optimize for the retirement readiness of you and your employees.

Participants who have good financial habits are typically happier, more productive and naturally positioned to make more suitable savings decisions for their future!
