YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN ONLY BETTER!
Hey, we get it. Designing and running a retirement plan can be a challenge.
WHY?
THERE ARE A LOT OF RETIREMENT PLAN PROVIDERS & DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
HOW CAN YOU BE SURE THAT YOU ARE GETTING THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYEES?
RETIREMENT PLANS CAN BE EXPENSIVE
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE COSTS AND HOW ALL PARTIES ARE COMPENSATED? HOW DO YOU MEASURE FAIR VALUE?
THEY ARE TIME CONSUMING TO ADMINISTER
REQUIRES TOO MUCH WORK BY THE PERSON OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE RETIREMENT PLAN RESPONSIBILITY.
401KS HAVE A LARGE LIABILITY EXPOSURE
MOST EMPLOYERS/PLAN SPONSORS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND REAL RISK IN OFFERING A RETIREMENT PLAN.
THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO KEEP COMPLIANT
MOST RETIREMENT PLANS THAT ARE AUDITED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FAIL THE AUDIT, AVERAGE FINES OVER $200K!
Clear & Complete.
Compliant & Cost-Effective.
Built to be a turnkey 401(k)!

Fiduciary Liability Protection
UNDERESTIMATING THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITY CAN BE A COSTLY MISTAKE
The DOL's states that "the primary responsibility of fiduciaries is to run the plan solely in the interest of participants and beneficiaries and for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits and paying plan expenses. Failing to ensure this happens can result in costly fines and plan disqualification. 67.2% of company's retirement plans that are audited by the Department of Labor fail the audit.
The Fiduciary Responsibility and by extension, the risk, is placed on YOU, as the Plan Sponsor.
You may hear other firms promise "Fiduciary Liability Protection" in their sales pitch. However, in a court of law they will refuse any liability. NEXt, is listed as the Named Fiduciary on your plan - meaning that with the you are protected to the highest degree allowed by law.
