Scott Revare, CEO and co-founder of Smart401k® (www.smart401k.com), today announced the hiring of Impact Communications to promote the firm's advice services for employees who invest in employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Overland Park, KS (PRWEB) April 30, 2009 - Scott Revare, CEO and co-founder of Smart401k® (www.smart401k.com), today announced the hiring of Impact Communications to promote the firm's advice services for employees who invest in employer-sponsored retirement plans.
"These are particularly challenging times for investors and while thousands of people are regularly contributing to their 401(k)-type plans, very few are engaged in actually managing the portfolio," Revare says.
Smart401k® is a web-based investment advisor that is uniquely focused on providing personalized investment advice to individuals who have 401(k)s, 403(b)s and other employer-sponsored retirement plans. The company currently monitors more than 4,500 employer plans and advises individuals who collectively have more than $1 billion in plan assets. Its team of advisors takes pride in helping their clients manage and understand the importance of investing in their employer-sponsored retirement plan.
"We are on a mission to let consumers know that there is a simple, affordable solution to help them manage their accounts with confidence. We feel this is vitally important in today's environment," says President Scott Holsopple.
Consumers can subscribe to the service online by identifying their employer and providing details of their situation in a short questionnaire. Smart401k's advisors then analyze the fund choices that are available through the plan and deliver a customized Action Plan, tailored to the client's time horizon, risk tolerance and employer-specific fund choices. The Action Plan, updated quarterly, provides recommendations for which funds to invest in and how much to allocate to each fund. The service costs $200 per year or $59 per quarter and offers unlimited access to Smart401k's advisors by phone, email and live chat.
In addition to serving consumers, Smart401k® provides fund selection and monitoring services to plan sponsors, recommending additional mutual funds and plan changes as necessary with the goal of helping the plan meet the requirements of its Investment Policy Statement.
