Under Review: How to Evaluate a Recordkeeping Relationship

In this episode, we focus on important elements of a plan sponsor’s recordkeeping relationship, including:

• The role a recordkeeper fulfills in comparison to other plan service providers
• Challenges recordkeepers face in a consolidating marketplace and how plan sponsors should respond
• Key factors to consider in the event a plan sponsor conducts a recordkeeper evaluation

“Where selection [of a recordkeeper] matters most is when it comes to the consultative nature of the relationship … Is the team experienced? Are they proactive? … Those less tangible features are what separate really good relationships from great relationships.”

– Kevin Skow, Vice President
