Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Landmark Financial Advisors partners with Vanguard® to establish low-cost retirement plans for small and mid-sized businesses. Our service model is designed for simplicity while lowering costs in every aspect of the plan.
Our goal is to exceed our clients’ expectations in each of the following retirement plan advisory services: Fiduciary Compliance & Protections, Investment Selection & Due Diligence, Benchmarking Performance, Employee Education, and Personalized Advice.
We define success as helping each participant reach his or her level of retirement preparedness. We are fully committed to doing just that.
FIDUCIARY PROTECTION
An investment fiduciary is someone who is managing the assets of another person and stands in a special relationship of trust, confidence, and/or legal responsibility.
As a co-fiduciary, we ensure each plan sponsor or administrator adheres to the Department of Labor guidelines in regards to protecting each participant from unnecessary fees and lack of investment due diligence.
