A Defined Contribution Plan Built to Perform

Wealthspire’s plan solutions are designed to help lower costs, maximize plan value, protect fiduciaries and improve participant retirement readiness.

A Co-Fiduciary Partner for Your Committee

Running an effective defined contribution plan requires understanding your fiduciary obligations, keeping fees in check, and building a fund lineup that truly serves your participants.

We act as your co-fiduciary partner offering both 3(21) advisory and 3(38) discretionary services, depending on how much delegation makes sense for your committee.

Scale That Works in Your Favor

Wealthspire Institutional serves all types and all sizes of defined contribution plans. Through a disciplined, customized approach, we guide our clients through detailed investment reviews, comprehensive plan benchmarking, and robust oversight frameworks, sharing best practices that can help protect both your organization and your participants.

We provide practical guidance and fiduciary oversight to help plan sponsors meet their responsibilities and make informed decisions.

Our Fiduciary Fitness Program™ lets you measure the health of your plan by zeroing in on any existing fiduciary gaps, reviewing the proper process, documenting who's responsible for what and giving you a long-term plan. Learn more.

We help employers evolve plan design to balance organizational goals with participant needs, creating programs that drive engagement and better retirement outcomes.

Our benchmarking process provides an objective view of fees, services and provider offerings, helping identify opportunities to enhance plan effectiveness and value.

We analyze participant demographics and plan characteristics to help identify target date fund solutions that align with retirement goals and participant needs.

We understand the full scope of retirement plans and our team of plan administration experts can deliver on-going or project services, such as plan corrections.
