We support plan sponsors with our multi-disciplined approach of delivering Registered Investment Advisory services, acting as an Investment Fiduciary, and full plan-level consulting capabilities. We help employers reduce their exposure to fiduciary liability risk, provide clear guidance in selecting appropriate investment options, and maximize the value of the plan to employees and plan sponsors.
We will customize an investment policy statement to guide the plan committee in selecting and monitoring the plan's investment options to meet the plan's overall retirement goals and objectives.
Our customized and objective reports are prepared by internal analysts and presented by investment consultants to committees to provide a thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify best overall fund options.

We utilize three industry-leading software products to support our analysts in their ongoing investment.
Quarterly monitoring reports are provided to assist the committee with on going investment monitoring in accordance with your IPS and to document the review process.

The Precept Advisory Scoring System (PASS) is a proprietary fund screening methodology developed internally by our investment committee to quantitatively measure and rank funds. The system is an objective, quantitative scoring tool that measures and ranks multiple factors of a fund's characteristics with its peer group. Each factor is then weighted and calculated to determine a final score for the fund. Once the fund's score is calculated, we rank the fund within its peer group. From that point, our Investment Committee will conduct a qualitative search to determine the most appropriate alternative/addition.
