At Klaas Financial, our role comes down to two essential parts:
We will work with you as the plan sponsor to design a plan that fits your financial needs and expectations, be a 3(21) investment fiduciary to oversee and monitor the performance of investment fund options in the plan and perform regular benchmarking of all the fees and expenses being paid by the plan. This will help you as the plan sponsor feel comfortable that you are fulfilling your fiduciary duty and providing a quality benefit to your employees.
We will also communicate all the important plan information to your employees, so they appreciate the benefit being provided and encourage them in saving for their futures. This service will engage your employees and get them thinking about their financial futures.
We also have a resource center on our website that can provide videos and articles about a wide variety of financial topics and our Klaas Koffee Chats.
