Provider Benchmarking

Retirement plans should be monitored periodically to assure that the plan is up-to-date.  Plan fiduciaries are responsible for assessing service provider fees, services, and the investment lineup.  Small plans should benchmark every three to five years, while large plans will want to benchmark every two to three years.
