Historically, plan sponsors have managed retirement plans by relying on the business judgement of their executives and staff. Although genuine and well-meaning in their conduct, such individuals are usually unaware that well-meaning is an insufficient basis from which to assure sound fiduciary practices will be implemented. As a result, decisions regarding plan administration, operational and regulatory compliance, the process for appointing fiduciaries, investment management decisions, and service provider selection and oversight (just to name a few) are too often made with inadequate fiduciary knowledge and perspective. Sound fiduciary judgement will certainly shine a different light on the same set of circumstances and allow one to reach conclusions that may be undiscerned by those who lack understanding in fiduciary prudence and expertise. Simply stated, as a matter of law, only sound fiduciary judgement counts.

As a plan sponsor, or one in an executive role, some key questions must be addressed in a realistic and un-bias manner:
Q: Do we have the knowledge and expertise to maintain compliance and effectively manage our retirement plan?
Q: Is our retirement plan effective in providing adequate benefits so our employees can retire with respect?
Q: Would it be a more effective use of executive and administrative staff's time to outsource the management and compliance responsibilities to a team of professionals?
