FAQs

What does a 401(k) plan advisor do for a small or mid-sized business?

A 401(k) plan advisor helps design the plan, select and monitor investments, manage vendors, and educate employees, while guiding ERISA fiduciary duties. Many sponsors hire a 3(21) or 3(38) fiduciary to reduce risk and improve governance.

Do we need a 3(21) or a 3(38) fiduciary for our 401(k) plan?

Both are ERISA fiduciaries; a 3(21) advises while the sponsor retains discretion, and a 3(38) takes discretionary investment authority. Small plans often choose based on internal capacity and risk tolerance.

What is a Safe Harbor 401(k) and is it good for small to mid-sized employers?

A Safe Harbor 401(k) uses required employer contributions to automatically satisfy key nondiscrimination tests, which can simplify administration and boost participation. It suits many small plans that struggle with ADP/ACP testing.
