The core principle behind our practice as Independent Fiduciaries is trust. Like a good accountant or lawyer, the fiduciary in charge of your employee benefit or retirement plan needs to be someone who is reliable and trustworthy. At the ERISA Advisory Group, our clients value us because we always answer your phone calls, provide solutions to problems, and deliver on our promises.
As Independent Fiduciaries, one of our highest values is placed on a principle known as the “Prudent Person” rule. This rule binds us to using our expertise in ERISA compliance and employee benefit best practices when offering advice or making decisions on behalf of your plan. In other words, we would never tell you to do something that we wouldn’t do ourselves.
Our independent relationship as your ERISA Fiduciary is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your plan. The ultimate fiduciary responsibility in operating a Health & Welfare or Retirement Plan lies in making decisions that put the interests of plan participants and beneficiaries above those of your organization or plan fiduciaries. This is the undergirding principle behind our practice, and is effective in protecting against self-dealing and other prohibited transactions.
