of administrative services

We're with you every step of the way.

We provide support for your plan through each phase of administration—from developing your plan's conversion strategy to consulting with you about plan design and ways to make plan operations more efficient.

Time-tested conversion process.

The process of plan conversion requires careful planning and precise execution. With an average of 16 years in the industry, Schwab's Conversion Managers have the expertise and experience to help ensure a seamless implementation of your conversion plan. And at each stage of the process, our dedicated Conversion Quality Assurance group will be testing and monitoring the set-up of your plan to make sure it's in compliance with your plan document.

We keep participants informed.

We'll help support your plan with employee communications that may include newsletters, postcards, enrollment meetings, webcasts, electronic communications and more.

Dedicated conversion website.

Our conversion Web site can be customized to your company's look and feel, and can provide timely and essential information to your participants during the crucial transition period. It can also help you:

  • Provide detailed information on conversion timing and fund-mapping plans
  • Comply with Sarbanes-Oxley notice requirements
  • Establish a single point of entry for all your employee benefits, including health and welfare benefits

We can help simplify the compliance process.

Navigating Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) guidelines and DOL rules can be a complex process. Your Schwab ERISA compliance team will consult with you so your plan stays within those guidelines. In addition to preparing signature-ready tests, they perform average benefit testing and are experts in highly specialized cross-tested design-based plans.
