Communication & Education
The forthcoming Department of Labor legislation aims to ensure 401(k) participants receive clearer and more frequent communication regarding the content and cost of their investment assets.
Within a Global Financial 401(k) plan, Communication is synonymous with Education.
With 73.8% of 401(k) participants saying they need help with basic investment knowledge and only 11.9% of 401(k) participants saying they are satisfied with their current education program1.
Would your 401(k) benefit from a Comprehensive Education Program?
Five key goals of our Communication & Education Program are:
- Provide Regular Updates and Participant Support
- Explain how to Establish Retirement Goals
- Provide Basic Knowledge of Investing
- Describe Specific Investments Contained within the Plan
- Clear Definition of Plan Fees and Expenses
