Fee Comparison and Analysis Evaluation - Raffa Retirement
The Importance of Fee Analysis
The Department of Labor has set a high standard for plan sponsors regarding the reasonableness of fees associated with qualified retirement plans. It is crucial that plan fiduciaries determine if the costs associated with employer sponsored retirement plans are reasonable. A truly unbiased and high quality peer group comparison is the most efficient and comprehensive approach for this responsibility. This type of evaluation will clarify the value received by you with respect to your retirement plan. Raffa Retirement Services has partnered with the Center for Fiduciary Management and Fiduciary Benchmarks, Inc. to create a procedure and output that makes this process seamless and scalable for you.
