3(21) SBG serves in more ways than one.
You want your employees to succeed at work, in life and in preparing for their retirement. As an employer with a retirement program, you are responsible to provide the tools to allow your employees access, allocate resources to educate, and provide options to save in an unbiased level playing field for their retirement. The fiduciary's role comes with great responsibility, caring for their needs while monitoring the rules and regulations. With the proper guidance and co-fiduciary role that SBG provides, many of the unforeseen problems can be avoided.
What is your fiduciary responsibility?
This area of the law is one of the most complex and misunderstood parts of your responsibility of the managing the retirement plan. Many plan sponsors do not have the resources nor the time to fully grasp all the complex rules of the law. Along with many other duties, selecting the investments on the platform is one of the most critical,
whether you select the funds on the platform yourself or hire someone to help guide you, the responsibilities of the fiduciary are yours. Finding a 3(21) fiduciary for the plan mitigates the fund selection role.
