401k & Retirement Plans

Selecting an employee 401k or retirement plan that meets the needs of both plan sponsors and participants is a serious obligation. However, choosing a plan that considers both investment choices and expenses can be very difficult. Further, the selection and coordination of the various service providers involved in the creation and management of a retirement plan can be overwhelming.

Rothschild Investment Corporation has the seasoned knowledge to help navigate this complex process.

The success of a retirement plan is based on the selection and coordination of an efficient third-party plan administrator; an appropriate, web-centric trading and monitoring platform; and diversified investment options. Because Rothschild is independent, we can assist plan sponsors in selecting these providers from a wide variety of firms, helping obtain better services and more competitive prices.

For plan sponsors who elect to use mutual funds in their retirement plans, a significant part of this process is selecting which funds will be offered. As both an independent broker/dealer and Registered Investment Advisor, Rothschild is able to assist in compiling a diverse line-up of investment choices that we believe best match the participant’s unique needs. Once vendors are selected by the plan sponsor, Rothschild works closely with the vendors to help finalize the plan. Upon completion, we then work closely with the plan sponsor to establish an ongoing process for monitoring the performance, diversification and expenses of the plan.

To help ensure your participants take advantage of the plan, Rothschild takes an active role in education, with customized programs that highlight the benefits of retirement savings and provide the information and resources employees need to make informed investment decisions.

Plan design, implementation and participant education, plus solid investment performance, are the key factors in a successful retirement plan. The Rothschild Retirement Plan Services Team provides the experience and independence necessary to assist clients in achieving their long-term goals.
