hile all platforms handle basic functions such as managing
fund lineups and offering plan sponsor and participant
websites, many underlying differences exist between providers,
says Laura Renshaw, senior consultant at North Pier Search
Consulting. Important to look for, she says, is how the recordkeeper
addresses cybersecurity and is adapting to SECURE [Setting Every
Community Up for Retirement Enhancement] 2.0 Act initiatives.
" To remain profitable amid industry changes, many are relocating
call centers and processing services to third parties, " she notes.
" While this creates efficiencies, it can introduce risks, especially
if third-party breaches occur. Therefore, those can be points of
differentiation between recordkeepers. " -Judy Faust Hartnett

K
im Cochrane, senior director of client services for Hub
International's Mid-Atlantic region has a few questions she
typically asks recordkeepers of 403(b) plans: How do they handle
legacy individual contracts held at other providers? And, how are
they integrating 403(b) language into their websites/marketing/
disclosures instead of using the term " 401(k) " ? Cochrane says plan
sponsors with a 403(b) plan look to a potential new recordkeeper
for high touch and high quality, and should ask to meet during the
evaluation with their potential service team. " A call center is not an
effective way to interact with a recordkeeper. 403(b) plan sponsors
are mostly concerned about whom they'll be working with, not the
accolades and awards that recordkeepers like to showcase. " -JFH
