Frequently Asked Questions

What does a retirement plan advisor do?

A retirement plan advisor helps employers establish, manage, and oversee workplace retirement plans. Services may include investment oversight, fiduciary guidance, plan governance, provider evaluations, participant education, and ongoing consulting to help support retirement plan goals.

What is the difference between a 3(21) and 3(38) fiduciary?

A 3(21) fiduciary offers investment advice, but the plan sponsor makes the final decisions. A 3(38) fiduciary has discretionary authority to manage the plan’s investment lineup, assuming greater responsibility for investment selection and monitoring.

What are a plan sponsor's fiduciary responsibilities under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)?

Plan sponsors are responsible for acting in the best interests of plan participants and overseeing the retirement plan in accordance with ERISA. Responsibilities may include monitoring investments, reviewing fees and service providers, maintaining plan governance, and documenting fiduciary decisions.

What types of retirement plans does Beacon Pointe support?

Beacon Pointe provides consulting services for a variety of employer-sponsored retirement plans, including 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit, profit sharing, non-qualified deferred compensation, 457, SIMPLE IRA, and SEP IRA plans.

Can Beacon Pointe help if we already have a retirement plan?

Yes. Beacon Pointe works with existing retirement plans by providing investment oversight, provider evaluations, fee benchmarking, plan governance support, participant education, and consulting for plan enhancements or provider changes.

What makes Beacon Pointe different from other retirement plan advisors?
