3) Fulfilling the Needs of a Small Business Why shouldn’t a small business be able to offer its employees retirement benefits comparable to those available to large companies? And why are existing plans so time consuming that it’s actually better not to have one? We’re just as baffled. So we put together a simple, flexible 401(k) plan for small businesses. It provides the benefits of a larger plan, yet fits the needs and business objectives of smaller companies.

It should be a welcome addition that complements your business, not complicates it. We are ready to help. A retirement plan gives your employees a convenient way to save. Will they sign up?

Here they can “crunch the numbers” themselves and try out different scenarios. And while the results are hypothetical, they can be persuasive in determining a saving strategy for retirement. Helping Reduce Your Fiduciary Risk The plan sponsor of a retirement plan takes on additional risks and responsibilities. One of the most important is selecting the investment platform. As the investment manager for the Ameritas EZ(k), Mesirow Financial provides an additional level of fiduciary protection. ERISA Section 3(38) Coverage As the designated investment manager for the Ameritas EZ(k), Mesirow Financial provides ERISA Section 3(38) fiduciary coverage. In addition, it assumes full discretion for selecting, monitoring and replacing the investment option, if necessary. This level of ERISA Section 3(38) investment fiduciary protection relieves the plan sponsor of due diligence and monitoring of plan investments. Basic services include: • Designated investment fiduciary • Quarterly reporting via the Mesirow Financial POLICE® Report® • Evaluation, selection and monitoring of the investment lineup • Quarterly review of the lineups The value of this service is that it mitigates the fiduciary responsibilities and potential liability associated with sponsoring a qualified plan.* Plan sponsors benefit from the values of sponsoring a qualified plan, but without taking on the entire fiduciary responsibility. *The specific instances in which a party may be entitled to indemnity are set forth in detail in the agreement between the plan sponsor and Mesirow Financial, and nothing herein is intended to modify that agreement. 6 Ameritas EZ(k) Enrollment: Your customized enrollment book highlights the features of your plan.
