401(k) Cost Structure
401(k) plans are supported by different areas of expertise: record keeping, third party administration, custody, and advice. EVOadvisers acts as your planās adviser and main point of contact. We offer to coordinate the activities of services, and our clients like knowing that their plan is supported by an experienced team who knows them and that they never have to wait on hold for a call center rep who doesnāt.
Record keeping, third-party administration, and custody
A record keeper provides the website āfaceā of the plan to you and your employees,Ā keep record of every contribution from payroll to each employeeās account, and provide your employees with a simple way to track and manage their savings. The third party administrator ensures the plan has the necessary documentation in place and meets regulatory requirements. The custodian is primarily charged with the safe keeping of the assets in the plan and that requested transactions are completed promptly and accurately.
EVOadvisers acts as your ERISA Section 3(38) and 3(21) advisor. This means the services we offer include choosing and monitoring investment options in the plan, offering model portfolios, and consulting on optimal 401(k) plan design. Our Participant Advice service provides employees with the opportunity to meet with a CFPĀ® professional for advice on saving with your 401(k) plan.

Investment options
Mutual funds have expense ratios, a cost for managing and operating the fund. High fund expense ratios can cause a drag on retirement savings over the lifetime of investing. Making sure your expense ratios are low is important so you donāt pay more for investments with similar returns and outcomes. The average expense ratio of our investment lineup at EVOadvisers is 0.08% as of August 2023.
