Administrative Fiduciary Services
Perhaps, most importantly, AdvisorTrust offers plan sponsors the option of outsourcing their fiduciary responsibility for plan administration. Simply as a result of providing a valuable employee benefit, your client shouldn’t have to adjudicate a hardship or sign-off on whether a domestic relations order is qualified. Retirement plan administration is increasingly involved and complex. For many plan sponsors, the level of education and the commitment of time and energy required to adequately fulfill these responsibilities is an unwelcome administrative burden. When coupled with the significant risk of fiduciary liability, many plan sponsors need the relief available through a proper delegation to an independent fiduciary. That’s why AdvisorTrust works with select third party administrators to offer administrative fiduciary outsourcing services in accordance with Section 3(16) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. Ask your preferred TPA to call us and ask about our ERISA 3(16) services.
