2018 Miami Fiduciary Summit Highlights Retirement Plan Best Practices
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (PRWEB) April 05, 2018 -- 2018 marks the seventh consecutive year Xponential Growth Solutions (XGS) has held the Retirement Plan Roadshow, first founded in 2012 to assist U.S. employers in reaching their retirement plan goals through educational workshops. The 2018 Miami Fiduciary Summit, set to take place Thursday, May 3rd, 2018 from 11:00am to 3:00pm (luncheon included) at The Biltmore Hotel Miami in Coral Gables, FL, is the sixth stop along this annual, nationwide tour.
XGS is committed to providing education and resources that help business owners, fiduciaries, and finance, human resource, and benefit executives to better understand retirement plan best practices and industry trends. This, in turn, allows them to make informed decisions and develop strategies that will help businesses to grow and provide positive outcomes for plan participants.
The annual Retirement Plan Road Show supports this goal by pairing local speakers with industry leaders to discuss a diverse range of topics, from fiduciary responsibility, plan design, and investments, to healthcare, wellness, and more. In 2017, the Retirement Plan Roadshow reached over 1,200 companies and organizations, positively impacting more than 2 million plan participants representing over $125 billion in retirement plan assets. XGS hopes to have an even greater impact with the 2018 Retirement Plan Road Show.
Following last year’s successes, Brett Shofner, the President of Work Plan Retire (Delray Beach, FL) has once again been tapped to host the Miami Fiduciary Summit. Brett Shofner emphasizes that ""Employers are bombarded with information overload from too many sources. For years they have had somebody scoring their plan investments for low cost and strong fund performance. The reality is employees retire successfully based on saving enough money and having diversified portfolio allocations. These actions are best guided by advisors who can inspire the employees and communicate with them in the right ways. Our Fiduciary Summits define what a truly successful retirement plan looks like and how to measure the key components, the Investing Process, Plan Administration and Participant Outcomes.
Employers never signed up for partial fiduciary coverage and that is unfortunately what most of them are currently getting if they just have an ERISA 3(21) or 3(38) provider helping them. We aim to educate them on what comprehensive fiduciary coverage looks like for their plans and how to properly measure the success of their employees retirement income strategies."
As the event host, Brett Shofner will lead discussions on timely fiduciary topics affecting local plan sponsors. This year’s lineup of local guest speakers includes:
Eric Grant, CPA & Benefit Plan Services Manager – Crowe Horwath LLP
