Summit Financial Group's Corporate Retirement Plans Division provides specialized experience and broad knowledge in developing creative approaches to employer sponsored retirement plans.

Our consultative approach to plan analysis, design, funding and administration is to first understand or help develop the benefit philosophy for the client. We strive to identify client objectives and assess challenges and risks associated with the plan in a manner that will optimize desired results and mitigate risks.

We also recognize the employer obligation to their employees and help participants prepare for retirement by providing them with investment education and the tools to make appropriate investment decisions.

Our product and vendor neutral structure allow us to provide an unbiased assessment of plan alternatives, coordinate the plan design with other benefit programs and effectively design and implement solutions tailored to our clients desired objectives. We then act as advocate for the plan sponsor by constantly monitoring results with a focus on plan performance against those desired objectives.

Our philosophy is demonstrated by the services we provide. Following are some of those services:

 

  • Summit will perform a thorough review and analysis of the current plan offering including vendor comparison of services, investment performance, investment expenses and administrative fees.
  • Summit will perform a vendor search in which we will canvas the market for the most appropriate provider based on the objectives and needs of the plan sponsor.
  • Summit will provide initial and on going enrollment support and investment education to your participants. By doing so, you will be meeting part of your fiduciary obligations.
  • Summit will meet with plan participants individually to assist them in making appropriate investment decisions.
  • Summit will continuously monitor the appropriateness of the Plan's investment options and meet with the Plan committee/Trustees periodically to report findings and take necessary measures.
  • Summit will assist you in documenting the actions taken with regard to investment education and investment monitoring in an effort to meet your fiduciary responsibilities.
  • Summit will act as an advocate for you with plan service providers insuring that all parties are performing in the best interest of you the client.

 

Through our unique partnering approach Summit Financial Group is able to provide a comprehensive service model that contributes to the overall success of our client's business by allowing them to focus on their core business activities.
