Supporting you as you work with clients is our most important job. Let’s work together to help your clients achieve better retirement outcomes.
When it comes to retirement plans:
Introduce your clients to our range of industry-leading services and make their lives easier. Select from fiduciary, recordkeeping, data and support services — or all of the above.
Flexibility gives you the freedom to select only the services that your clients truly want. You decide when you want to take the lead and when you’d like us to step in.
We can increase fiduciary protection for your clients by taking care of certain legally required administrative tasks. Your clients can delegate responsibilities to The Standard so they can focus on other business concerns while saving time and expense.
Our record of fiduciary integrity is one of the top reasons plan sponsors and their advisors say they choose The Standard. When we say we take responsibility, we put it in writing. The Standard puts a hold harmless clause in its service agreements.
We offer both open architecture and group annuity platforms as plan investment options. With either platform, you pick the funds. In addition, The Standard passes back 100 percent of all mutual fund revenue sharing to plan participants, ensuring complete objectivity whenever funds are selected.
Choose the level of service that your clients need.
For service they are off the hook — super responsive. They come to meetings, my team doesn't have to lift a hand, I’ve never had participants or employees complain about them.
