“ERISA regulations require plan fiduciaries to act as experts in the decisions they make on behalf of the plan and its participants. This means fiduciaries must demonstrate prudence, carefully evaluate providers and investment options, and always act solely in the best interest of participants. Failure to meet this standard can expose fiduciaries to personal liability, regulatory penalties, and costly litigation.”
SMART IRA Plan Solutions was developed by David Donaldson, a former Senior Investigator for the U.S. Department of Labor, to help plan sponsors uphold the highest fiduciary standards required under ERISA. Drawing on his extensive regulatory experience, David designed the program to ensure that plan sponsors have a compliant, transparent, and documented process for handling mandatory distributions and small account rollovers.
The solution was built to protect both participants and fiduciaries—reducing administrative burden, minimizing risk, and ensuring every transaction aligns with the standards of prudence, loyalty, and oversight expected by the Department of Labor. Through SMART IRA Plan Solutions, plan sponsors can confidently meet their fiduciary obligations while providing participants with a secure, principal-protected investment and continued access to their retirement savings.
