Fiduciary Partner

IFA is dedicated to complete plan transparency and an unobscured view of all fees and expenses. Trust is an important relationship component and as your fiduciary partner we are required to act only in the best interest of our clients.

Fees Matter

Hidden fees in other 401(k) plans can make it extremely challenging to identify the actual fees paid for services.

Conversely, IFA’s retirement plan solutions are offered on a fee-only basis with no hidden compensation or commissions, no revenue sharing and fees are agreed upon and clearly spelled out in our agreement.

IFA also provides institutional share class mutual funds not typically available to the general public, and on average, are less expensive than industry averages.

All of this translates into savings that are passed on to plan participants, which improves their chances of meeting their retirement goals.
