Exchange Traded Funds

are one of the fastest growing financial instruments and are commonly requested by financial consultants for use in retirement plans. Because most retirement plan processes have been designed around trading mutual funds, using ETFs in retirement plans has been either too expensive or too operationally burdensome. The ETF Advisor k™ solution lifts these barriers and allows retirement plan participants to own actual ETF shares by using the systems already in place for trading mutual funds.

Life Just Became Easier

  • Initial Sign-Up

      Our main focus is to create a system to make your life easier. If it does not help you out, then you won’t see it (unless the folks in legal require it). Selling a retirement plan is easy. It’s the service part that is hard. How many repeat trips have you made to your trustees for signatures? How many times have you told your plan contact that everything is all set, only to find out a new batch of documents are sitting in your Inbox waiting for signature? When you are starting a plan with us, our number one goal is to have ALL of the necessary forms ready for trustee signature.
  • Investment Choices

      Who likes to run a trustee meeting that centers around Investment Policy Statement (IPS) violations? Use ETFs so that you don’t have to spend time going over investment choice replacement because of style drift, trading scandals, expense increases, fund manager changes, poor performance, short-term trading fees, and everyone’s all time favorite the back-end sales charge. In addition to individual ETFs as a selection choice, you may use a pre-defined model or create your own. Talk about adding value!
  • Easy to Understand Fees

      Our fees are listed on one page and take up about four lines. Hard to believe, but in most cases our fully bundled plans are all inclusive and consist of recordkeeping, participant and asset based fees. When using the ETF Advisor k™ solution, costs are predictable, explainable, and transparent, all of which are important factors for fiduciaries and financial consultants, especially under the new fee disclosure rules.

  • Advisor Services

      Did we mention that the work really starts after the sale? With our Advisor Tools, you may analyze the entire book of business, just a plan, or drill down to the participant level. The enrollment kits are customized, and are automatically updated if an amendment takes place. Not too many things are better than helping the owner of the business with their retirement account when they call in!

  • Branding Your Practice

      If you have many smaller plans and are interested in cutting down on service work and saving your clients some fees, give us a call and we can see if a Multiple Employer Plan (MEP) might help. Looking to brand your retirement plan services? Call us to see if a private label program makes sense for your practice.
