Our Experts are Your Experts

When you need tax advice, you talk to an accountant. Trying to sell your home? A real estate agent can help. Working with an expert makes solving a problem or reaching a goal much more feasible.

The same holds true with retirement plans. Knowing the rules and regulations is one thing; applying them appropriately to your situation is another. In-depth understanding of pension law, administration, investments and participant needs are crucial when discussing and designing a plan.

The Standard has designed, installed, administered and provided investment options for retirement plans for more than 70 years. Your plan’s success is our ultimate goal. We’ll take good care of you, helping you select the products and services that are suited specifically to your needs.

We know that one size doesn’t fit all. Our experienced client service consultants help design a flexible, responsive plan that meets your specific needs, and they’ll ensure that it is functioning to your satisfaction.

They have plenty of help, too. Our staff of professionals includes:
  • plan administration specialists
  • investment advisors
  • ERISA attorneys
  • compliance specialists
  • data collection specialists
  • enrolled pension actuaries
Many of our employees have professional designations from the American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries (ASPPA) and the National Institute of Pension Administrators (NIPA), including:
  • QKA (Qualified 401(k) Administrator)
  • QPA (Qualified Pension Administrator)
