AFS Financial Group to Offer Enhanced 401k Consulting Services
BETHESDA, MD, November 9, 2007 -- AFS Financial Group is pleased to announce an enhanced suite of retirement plan consulting services that is now available to its clients.
"Our new Retirement Plan Advisory System means more dedicated services to help ensure employers' fiduciary compliance, and deliver a more successful and meaningful retirement plan for employees," says Alp Atabek, the firm's president.
Core services rolled into the new system include:
- Investment due diligence analysis
- Scorecard Fund Ranking
- Service provider searches and benchmarkings
- Plan design and annual review
- 404(c) fiduciary guidance
- Employee communications
"Every plan sponsor has unique goals and objectives. As a dedicated retirement plan consultant, AFS Financial Group will create an ongoing service plan specific to each client's needs," says Atabek. "We'll begin with a thorough review of the plan to ensure total plan costs are relevant to the services being received. Then, on an ongoing basis, we will examine the plan design with ideas to improve participation and operational efficiency."
Perhaps most importantly, notes Atabek, the firm will help navigate fiduciary responsibility through robust, systematic, quantitative and qualitative investment analysis involving over 150 pages of detailed reports utilizing 15+ industry standard analytical measurements. "Our due diligence process goes far beyond the Morningstar 5-star ratings and instead focuses on a cyclical approach of investment selection, monitoring, and ongoing documentation and review."
