An employer who sponsors a retirement plan for their employees has overriding fiduciary responsibility for the plan. This solution allows the employer to outsource that responsibility to the highest degree.
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AUDITS CAN BE COSTLY FOR YOUR BUSINESS!
The IRS penalty for late filing of a 5500-series return is $25 per day, up to a maximum of $15,000. The DOL penalty for late filing can run up to $1,100 per day, with no maximum.
The [Program Name] [401(k)/403(b)] and [TPA], as named fiduciaries on your plan, will mitigate this risk for you.

[Investment Manager]
As the named ERISA 3(38) Investment Fiduciary in the plan document, the Investment Manager is responsible for the selection and monitoring of the funds in the investment menu in accordance with the Investment Policy Statement for the plan. TAG Resources works with leading global providers of investment services staffed by research professionals, many of whom have
hands-on fund management experience and the human capital, technology, and experience to manage investment risk and return outcomes.
[Financial Advisor]
Offering a 401(k) and selecting the providers to run the 401(k) plan is a fiduciary decision. The Financial Advisor plays a key role in helping you with the due diligence process and documentation of that process. Financial Advisors that offer the [Program Name] [401(k)/403(b)] are in tune with the complexity and liability of running a 401(k) Plan. Advisors that use the TAG Program look to reduce the administration duties and risk to you to the greatest degree possible, and at a cost that is competitive. In addition, many advisors offer services that will help increase participation, help with enrollment meetings, provide investment guidance and education for the plan participants, provide plan reviews on a regular basis, and suggest potential plan-design enhancements.
Your Retirement Outlook: Important: The projections or other information generated by the engine (which produces Your Retirement Outlook®) regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical, do not reflect actual investment results, and are not guarantees of future results. Results derived from the tool may vary with each use and over time.
The Retirement Plan Exchange® plan solution is not a multiple employer plan (MEP). Unlike a MEP, certain plan qualification and ERISA requirements are applied at the individual plan level. An employer participating in the plan retains certain fiduciary responsibilities, including responsibility for retaining and monitoring the 3(16) plan administrator, for determining the reasonableness of its fees, and for periodically reviewing the plan as a whole. Transamerica does not act as a 3(16) plan fiduciary.
