Misplaced Faith in Record Keepers has resulted in $70+ Million in 403(b) Plan Sponsor Settlements**
Your plan is likely loaded with hidden conflicts of interest. Your record keeper or broker may be pushing funds and services that benefit them and not your employees. This can impact the future prosperity for your employees and create risk to your company. Prudent Process® monitors your service providers to uncover conflicts and holds them accountable to treat your employees well.
