Filice Retirement Services has developed a service model focusing on the critical components essential for creating and maintaining a successful retirement:
Provider Evaluation & Selection
Over the years Filice Retirement Services has developed a unique approach to researching, evaluating and analyzing service providers. Our analysis compares all of the critical components that make up a successful retirement plan.
Recordkeeping
Administration
Employee Education
Investments
Technology
Expenses (hard dollar and investment expenses)
We present our analysis in a simple side by side format allowing you to make an informed and objective decision.
Investment Due Diligence
An Investment Policy Statement (IPS) is the foundation of a successful due diligence program. The IPS clearly identifies the goals and objectives of each of the investments that make up your plan’s portfolio. The IPS will determine the criteria that the investment committee will be monitoring (relative performance, risk adjusted performance, investment expenses, style drift analysis, manager tenure, etc.)
Filice Retirement Services provides each of our clients quarterly Investment Monitoring Reports that are used to support the detection of portfolio changes and to highlight those funds that start to perform outside of acceptable performance levels as stated in your IPS. In addition to our Reports, Filice will regularly meet with your plan’s Investment Committee to review our findings.
Participant Education and Communication
Communication and education is critical to the success of any retirement plan. Working with you, Filice Retirement Services will develop a customized education and communication campaign to suit your organization’s unique needs.
We use a variety of strategies including group seminars, individual meetings and target marketing using both paper and online tools. It is our goal to ensure that your plan participants understand the value of their retirement plan, have the knowledge to make educated investment decisions and take advantage of the technology and tools available to them.
Filice Retirement Services has had great success in raising participation rates, increasing salary deferrals and increasing diversification of participant investments.
Plan Design and Compliance
Filice Retirement Services will ensure that your plan design continues to meet your business objectives and keeps pace with legislative changes. Whether it is interpreting regulations like the Pension Protection Act of 2006 or communicating current trends, Filice Retirement Services has the tools and the team necessary to make your plan a success.
