Spotlight on: Retirement Plans and 401(k)

The obvious benefit of a retirement plan is for your employees to create a real nest egg, but it’s a benefit to employers too. A good retirement plan can be an outstanding way to attract and retain top people—a vital strategy in a competitive marketplace. Higginbotham helps you add this important benefit to help complete your benefits package.

Higginbotham has a department dedicated exclusively to qualified retirement plans. Our advisors don’t merely dabble in retirement plans. And because we are independent, we can pair you with the vendor that suits your employee benefit strategy.

Our Retirement Plan Services department has the expertise to work with virtually any plan, including 401(k), Defined Benefit and 403(b). We also work with all types of vendors, such as mutual funds, insurance companies and third-party administrators.

We offer a number of employer- and employee-based services for a complete administrative solution:

Provides a basis for you to create the plan’s mission statement that describes the selection process of the retirement plan service provider and investment options.

404(c) Compliance Guides

Custom Employee Education Programs

Gives your employees the information they need to make sound investment decisions for their personal finances and lifestyles. Whether large or small group, single session or series, our education methods are tailored to your employees’ interest and comprehension of asset planning.

Fiduciary Liability

Manages your IRS and DOL compliance obligations by periodically reviewing your plan to help ensure it remains current with new regulations posed by legislation such as ERISA and the Pension Protection Act.
