Section III – The Fiduciary Risk Manager
TM
CBIZ Retirement Plan Services is proposing our ongoing co-fiduciary investment advisory and
consulting solution known as The Fiduciary Risk Manager™.
The Fiduciary Risk Manager™ is a proprietary risk management process developed by CBIZ
professionals to help individuals manage the personal liability associated with being a Fiduciary to a
qualified plan. The Fiduciary Risk Manager™ was designed with the purpose of meeting the Global
Fiduciary Standards of Excellence developed from ERISA, state trust law, the AICPA, and legal
precedents.
Plan sponsors are responsible for carrying out an increasing number of duties under federal law in
relation to managing their retirement plan. The majority of these duties require specific knowledge,
training, experience, and resources in order to be executed properly. Our team of retirement experts
is focused on helping plan sponsors manage fiduciary responsibilities effectively and efficiently. We
work to keep the plan in compliance, reduce costs, and lower risk relating to the management of the
plan while simultaneously increasing the employees’ probability of meeting their retirement goals.
Our experience shows that many plan sponsors unknowingly operate their plan in The Fiduciary
Gap™ and therefore, are exposed to increased personal liability and/or financial risks relating to the
plan. Depending on where your plan lies within The Fiduciary Gap™, CBIZ has a proven solution that
will help Pike Enterprises, LLC close that gap.
The Fiduciary Risk Manager™ closes The Fiduciary Gap™ by documenting the necessary steps
surrounding the six primary risk areas relating to the management of the retirement plan.
