In this episode, Tom Krusic and I jam on the top 5 things to look for when switching 401(k) advisors.
According to Fidelity's 2020 Plan Sponsor Attitudes survey, only 70% of companies who have an advisor working with them on their retirement plan are satisfied. Surprised by this stat? Me too. Listen on to understand how you can beat the odds.
Be sure to look for these things when looking for a financial advisor to help set up your corporate retirement plan.
- Keep an eye out for value, not just the lowest cost
- Make sure they are a Full Fiduciary, not a co-fiduciary
- Get an understanding of their investment philosophy and investment process
- What are they going to do to help your employees
- Are there other services you can tap into when hiring the advisory firm (HSA support, 529 plans, IRA's, etc.)
