BENCHMARKING ANALYSIS

Fee benchmarking is a low cost easy method to assess the reasonableness of fees charged for services rendered by comparing a plan to similar plans by participant size and total assets using our proprietary, independent, and objective database. Based upon the benchmarking results, a fiduciary is able to document a prudent process to support their subjective assessment of each service provider’s value of services rendered accurately and efficiently.
