  Investments/Fiduciary
Having appropriate investments in the plan is one of the most important aspects of running a successful corporate retirement plan. American Pensions strictly adheres to the principles of the Prudent Man Rule. We are 100% revenue neutral, free of obstacles to your success.
   
Fund Selection We focus on a three stage system, beginning with a strict quantitative screen eliminating inappropriate asset classes and fee structures. Then focus on a qualitative screening (stewardship, stability, relative returns). And end with a final selection of managers considering investment philosophy, growth and return attribution.
   
Monitoring & Rating Using industry best practices, we developed a comprehensive monitoring system, documented by an investment policy statement, and “fund barometer” to help you make informed investment decisions.
   
Ongoing Reporting We keep you up to date on how your plan’s investments are performing with clear and concise periodic reporting.
   
Advice & Education We will oversee your fiduciary meetings, presenting data and recommendations in person. In addition, employee meetings can be tailored to fit your needs.
   
Managing Fiduciary Responsibility We sign on as a fiduciary to the plan with respect to the investments. With our experience and credentials we are prepared to share the fiduciary role with your company.
   
A fiduciary must act "with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims." ERISA Prudent Man Rule
