The Fiduciary Formula

Book excerpt: Are you the decision-maker for your company's retirement plan? In legal-speak, that's known as a fiduciary, and it's a heavy responsibility. In fact, you're probably aware that you're personally liable for your decisions, and you've probably heard all the horror stories about lawsuits against companies like yours and people like you. You may also be facing immense pressure from your employees and coworkers, who are trusting you to make decisions about their retirement future. Meanwhile, you're being bombarded by hordes of slick salespeople spouting confusing technical jargon. But the "f-word" isn't a responsibility you should fear. It's one you should embrace!

Covering everything from plan design, fees, and investments to participant support and provider management, The Fiduciary Formula is your roadmap for making successful decisions for your company and the people you care about.
