A plan sponsor is a designated party - usually a company or employer - that sets up a retirement plan, such as a 401(k), for the benefit of the organization's employees. The responsibilities of the plan sponsor include vendor selection, investment choices, and in some cases, providing contribution payments in the form of cash and/or stock.
Plan Participants
While plans can look very different, the need for professional oversight, ongoing employee education, and completely independent objective advice remain constant. SFP Wealth’s services for plan participants includes: evaluating plan metrics and employee demographics, design a custom financial wellness program, conducting on-site and/or virtual meetings (employee enrollment meetings, education group seminars, one-on-one participant consultations), creating an education policy statement, and assisting terminated employees with options.
A plan participant either contributes into a retirement plan or is in a position to receive benefit payments from the plan. It includes a retired person receiving distributions from a retirement plan, or a beneficiary or dependent named by a contributing member. A plan participant has the right to receive benefit payments from a retirement plan, whether it is a defined benefit or a defined contribution retirement plan, as long as the requirements under the plan's contract have been fulfilled.
