Provider Evaluation Checklist

A consistent worksheet for comparing retirement plan providers with the same questions and keeping the evaluation documented in writing.

WHAT'S INSIDE

A consistent way to compare providers.

  • Provider screening questions for building a focused shortlist.
  • A full provider questionnaire for a more detailed review.
  • Plan performance, services, provider management, employee education, compliance, investments, fees, and benchmarking.
  • Fiduciary and governance support, participant outcomes, cybersecurity and data privacy, transition, references, and responsible investing.
  • Dropdown answer options that keep responses consistent and written documentation easy to compare.

This is a general comparison tool, not legal or tax advice. Discuss the results with your committee and your legal and tax advisors.
