3(21) Fiduciary Support

As an employer sponsoring a 401(k) plan, you are a fiduciary and are personally responsible and liable for the success of the plan. One of the largest aspects of fiduciary responsibility is investments. This risk can be limited by sharing this responsibility with Model(k)’s investment manager.

Model(k) provides an ERISA section 3(21) investment manager to limit the responsibility and legal liability associated with the selection, ongoing monitoring and replacement of the plan’s investment options.

The investment manager will work directly with you to provide a prescreened fund universe. From this list, you can then choose the investment options that best fit the needs of your plan.
