Investment Strategy
Our team of experienced financial professionals are meticulous when it comes to investment oversight. We have a rigorous selection, tracking, and replacement process for investments. This enables you to compare the performance, features, behavior, and general suitability of each investment as a possibility for your plan.
PROCESS
Our process helps guide investment decisions and strives to protect the investment committee.
This includes the development of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) which will serve as a road map for selecting and monitoring plan investments.
SELECTION
We assist you in selecting a competitive list of investments that align with the needs of your employees.
These investments may include index funds, mutual funds, collective investment trusts, managed accounts, target date funds, and other options.
