Through its affiliates, Certified Financial Group provides employers indemnification against the two major liability issues facing them today.  These issues are claims arising from Section 404(a) and 404(c) regarding plan expenses and employee education. 

WE PUT IT IN WRITING!  That is The Certified Difference!^®.

There are two major risks that employers have when providing 401(k) programs to their employees:

• The first is the exposure from future claims by participants (or their families) that their 401(k) was not managed properly.
• The second is the exposure from future claims by participants that they were not given adequate investment advice.

Acting as a co-fiduciary under ERISA, Certified Advisory Corp, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor, mitigates employer liability against 404(a) claims by plan participants. WE PUT IT IN WRITING!

As a provider of investment advice, Morningstar® Associates, acts as a fiduciary to plan participants. Through its affiliation with Certified Benefits Corp, a Third Party Administrator and Recordkeeper, Morningstar® Associates supports 404(c) compliance by offering employees in-depth education regarding their investment alternatives. WE PUT IT IN WRITING!

This unique combination of an SEC Registered Investment Advisor and a state-of-the-art Third Party Administrator and Recordkeeper creates The Certified Difference!^®.  For more information, visit us at www.TheCertifiedDifference.com.
