Company Profile
Value to the Sponsor
Our company addresses the complexities of administering your
qualified retirement plan, with expertise in a constantly changing
industry. At the same time, we can provide significant cost savings and
increase profitability. Let us demonstrate that it simply doesn't make
sense to manage your
retirement plan in-house.
In addition to designing and maintaining your plan and amendments, we
also look after these important aspects of your plan:
- Total and easy access to information for you and your employees
- Accurate, timely reports to you and your employees
- Trustee services
- Discrimination Testing and Government reporting
- Reduced liability, cost, and complexity
On behalf of our clients, we manage the often complex relationship
between you and your Registered Representative (RR) or Registered Investment
Advisor (RIA). The RR or RIA becomes a co-fiduciary on the investments
in your portfolio, reducing the complexity of investment choices as well
as the risk and the liability associated with those investments.
Optionally, we can demonstrate our unique ability by designing,
installing, and managing a transparent interface between your
record-keeping systems and ours. To your staff and your employees we
will appear to be a simple extension of your own information systems.
You and they will see no difference between our system and yours.
Since I AM, inc, is, itself, a plan sponsor, we have a special
understanding of your needs. Our background and experience is in
improving productivity and profitability. We know that a proactive
approach to plan management will help you attract and retain employees.
Whether you are just starting or have been up and running and need to
improve your service, we can help you.
Participant Peace of Mind
To your employees (plan participants), there is nothing more
important than financial peace of mind. Just like you, we have deep
regard for the fact that nothing is more important to them than the
hard-earned money they have put away for their retirement. Therefore, we
assure them that:
- We create options for them at retirement
- They always have easy access to their account information
- We provide prompt response to all their retirement plan questions
- We provide prompt response to transition regulations
