For your employees

The ultimate success of a company’s retirement plan is determined every quarter when your participants open their statements to see if they are working towards their retirement objectives. The best websites, fancy quarterly statements, and unlimited access to investments do not assure one will effectively navigate their retirement account through economic cycles and market conditions.

Mr. Bayer authors Managing to Retire, a quarterly newsletter, and The Bi-Weekly Update along with offering your participants suggested model allocations specific to the plan updated quarterly.
