Be Assured

Feel confident your company’s qualified retirement plan is covered.


As a business owner, you’ve got a lot on your plate. The fiduciary responsibility for the selection of investment options within your company’s qualified retirement plan shouldn’t be an added stressor. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) sections 3(21) and 3(38) provide guidelines for two different types of investment fiduciaries, but deciding which one is the best fit for your unique situation requires in-depth understanding and guidance.


Your role as plan sponsor is critical to your retirement plan’s success. The choices you make for investment options directly impacts your employees ability to properly prepare for their future. Fully understanding your options as a plan sponsor will allow you to make the best decisions for your business. Valiant can help.
