As a broker dealer in the 401(k) field, you have a responsibility to conduct due diligence on all products and services offered to clients through your advisor network.

The Service Provider Due Diligence Service is an effective way to conduct a documented and thorough due diligence to fulfill this responsibility and to keep clients satisfied.

Using the combined resources of 401kExchange and the Boston Research Group, this service provides an unbiased, comprehensive review and evaluation of the DC market for our broker dealer clients that generally would not be possible using in-house resources. Our experts will prepare a complete due diligence analysis report and advise you on provider selection based on your needs.

Due diligence analyses of providers offer competitive comparisons in areas including:

• market segments served
• sponsor and advisor satisfaction surveys
• fund line-ups
• services offered
• commitment to the market
• plans and assets under management
• pricing
• advisor sales and service support
• and more.

Due diligence reports are based on plan sponsor and advisor metrics derived from industry-leading studies conducted by 401kExchange and the Boston Research Group.
