Plan Review

As a Pension Plan is only as good as its investments, we perform quarterly fund performance reviews to ensure that the plan is meeting and exceeding expectations:

•The Fund Performance Review: Our review process uses a combination of Sharpe composites, historical fund returns, and Morningstar ratings. Through our analysis, we rank investment options based on their performance and compare them to industry benchmarks. This quantitative approach also lets us “flag” investment options that may be underperforming so we can take any necessary corrective action. In addition to the above objectives, each fund in our analysis is also evaluated using the following statistical measures:

ALPHA MEDIAN RANK
BETA R SQUARED
CORRELATION STYLE DRIFT
DOWNSIDE CAPTURE TRACKING ERROR
EXCESS RETURN VOLATILITY

• Semi-Annual Full Plan Review: Aside from reviewing and analyzing the funds of the Plan on a semi-annual basis, we review the Plan in its entirety making sure the fees of the Plan remain competitive, the Plan is adhering to the Investment Policy Statement, the Plan is up-to-date with all available technology, enrollment in the Plan is satisfactory and all outstanding issues and questions are answered.
