3(16) fiduciary services

Rules from the IRS and Department of Labor keep getting more complex, and compliance errors can mean liability, costly corrections, tax consequences or even plan disqualification. As a 3(16) fiduciary, Prime takes on plan administration responsibilities so your clients carry less of that risk.

For your clients

Useful for clients who worry about fiduciary exposure or don’t have staff to run the plan. It keeps your role focused on the investments and the relationship.

Why sponsors need help

New legislation and ongoing regulatory change make it harder for plan sponsors to show they’re meeting IRS and DOL requirements. Errors can expose them to liability, correction costs, tax consequences and, in serious cases, plan disqualification.

What a 3(16) fiduciary takes on

As a 3(16) plan administrator, Prime takes on responsibility for many administrative duties under ERISA, alongside the day-to-day work of running the plan.

  • Streamlined plan management and operations
  • Less administrative work for the sponsor’s staff
  • Help meeting IRS and DOL requirements
  • Reduced employer liability and risk
