As part of our vision, we aim to provide you with industry-leading retirement strategies, which encompass the following.

The Pinnacle Investment Group of Wells Fargo Advisors utilizes a consultative process to improve a plan’s efficiency and performance, which typically encompass pricing, transparency, plan design, and investment lineup. We focus on “retirement readiness” for our clients’ employees, along with investment management, plan management, and plan evaluation for the Plan Sponsors. The minimum objective goal is a reduction in fiduciary liability with the ultimate goal of maximizing participant outcomes and ensuring the plan is truly seen as a “benefit” by your employees.

To that end, we employ a number of analytical tools to review investment performance and fees. We strive to reduce a Plan Sponsor’s fiduciary risk by acting as a 3(21) or 3(38) Fiduciary, and we assist our clients in matters associated with issue resolution, while simultaneously overseeing and coordinating provider searches (RFP process).

Since employee participation is essential to the health of the overall plan, we actively engage employees in a number of communication strategies to keep their level of interest high. For example, we hold enrollment meetings and ongoing participant education meetings, and participants have one-on-one access to a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional on our team who can provide a thoughtful consultative experience as it pertains to either their investment, financial planning or administrative plan needs.
