How we help you:
Plan Design
We create high impact plans that attempt to maximize participant retirement income potential. Through our plan design process, strategic participant decisions are simplified while still accommodating custom corporate preferences such as employer costs, existing vs. future participant account balances, and participation.
Benchmarking
Benchmarking is not about the lowest fees, but the balance of cost to features provided. Legacy uses a proprietary benchmarking system that:
- Assists with fiduciary obligations to ensure reasonable fees
- Connects to over 100 bundled and unbundled recordkeepers and TPAs
- Handles start-up mega-large plans over 400 data points
- Offers side-by-side comparison for thorough perspective
- Saves between 25-40% over the averages method.
Investment Due Diligence
Legacy utilizes an investment due diligence process that focuses on identifying skillful managers and organizing powerful and compelling data.
Fiduciary Compliance
Our professionals lead each plan sponsor in fiduciary compliance, often serving as a co-fiduciary, either 3(21) or 3(38) based upon the client’s needs and the subject of risk mitigation versus risk avoidance.
Legacy utilizes an all-encompassing deliverable called the Fiduciary Plan Review. This review provides education, documentation, and plan metrics to meet fiduciary responsibilities and improve operational efficiency.
