Our role as your long-term partner is to provide you with the ongoing
support services you need to manage your plan. To make this as easy and
as convenient as possible, we'll provide you with a comprehensive suite
of powerful analytical tools and resources at schwabplan.com.
Relevant and timely information
As plan sponsor, you have a significant responsibility to meet the needs
of your employees while satisfying your duties as a plan fiduciary under
ERISA guidelines. It's important to have the right reporting and monitoring
mechanisms in place to help you make the most of your plan and to serve the
best interests of your employees.
Monitor your plan's performance
Measuring and monitoring the performance of your plan's fund line-up, as
well as documenting your due-diligence process, is extremely important to you
as a plan fiduciary.
- We can provide you a Due Diligence/Investment Report Package that includes:
- Monthly Fund Monitoring Report. Includes a watch list and a termination notice, which you'll receive
by email whenever a fund falls outside the acceptable performance criteria for the plan you have established.
- Asset Allocation Analysis. A comprehensive report of your plan's overall asset allocation, return
on assets and account activity benchmarked against the previous 12-month period.
- Market/Economic Commentary and Industry Data Timely market information and industry-relevant data.
- Schwab Focus List A prescreened list of funds, sorted by asset class, based on a rigorous objective screening process.
Stay on track with your plan's goals
To help keep you on track with meeting your plan's goals and objectives, we'll provide support services with periodic
investment reviews with you and your investment committee. If you have a consultant, we'd be happy to work with
and assist that consultant with the investment reviews, which include:
- Market overview and economic updates
- Investment structure and fund benchmarking analysis
- Peer group and benchmarking information
In many cases, we can even arrange discussions directly between a fund's portfolio manager and our
clients along with their consultants, when appropriate.
As part of our ongoing commitment to technology and supporting your plan's investment needs with
real-time information, we offer periodic Investment Services schWEBcasts®, which allow you to:
- View a live presentation over the Internet while listening to a Schwab Retirement Investment Services specialist
- Engage in an email dialogue with one of our investment information professionals
- Attend sessions and stay abreast of such topics as recent events in the market and economy, as well as general
fund information presented by portfolio managers
