PENSION CONSULTING -->Education & Advice

A properly structured participant education and advice program will provide benefits that are noticeable to everyone involved. For example, once employees understand the plan benefits, they are more inclined to participate and contribute higher sums, making your organization more attractive to potential employees.

At PENTEK Advisory Group, we use participant demographic analysis to develop an education program that relates directly to the level of your employees. Our program focuses on communications before, during and after the actual meetings and our materials cover different media to illustrate multiple ideas and concepts.

In addition, more participants in retirement plans are demanding investment advice. Yet most providers will not give advice due in large part to fiduciary concerns and their inherent conflicts of interest. This is a quandary that has plagued employee directed retirement plans ever since their introduction in the early 1980s.

At PENTEK, we have the answer. In person and/or through this web site, retirement plan participants have the ability to receive impartial, expert investment advice. We have aligned with Financial Engines - a recognized leader in on-line investment advice that includes Nobel Laureate Bill Sharpe as a director - to provide quality guidance on the investment of participants' retirement plan assets.

More than ever before, educating and advising your plan participants is of the utmost importance. At PENTEK, we place the proper emphasis on your program. After all, you can have the best investment options available, but if your participants are not counseled on how to use them or they obtain advice from some an ill-informed source, the investment choices may be for naught. Select PENTEK for unbiased employee investment advice and education.
