Trustee Administration
ERISA requires that the assets of qualified retirement plans be held in a trust and overseen by a "trustee" who is considered to have complete control over plan assets. If that trustee also makes investment decisions, he or she is accountable as a fiduciary and is subject to the same standards as a professional investment manager. The liabilities associated with this fiduciary responsibilty are significant.
Caldwell Trust, serving as your plan trustee, can help you satisfy these fiduciary obligations and maintain a solid documentation trail of decisions that are made over time.
