New England Retirement Consultants is uniquely qualified to offer conflict-free evaluation and search services to help you select the ideal outsourced platform for your organization. We serve as an independent, objective third-party to assist in the evaluation of and search for investment outsourcing solutions. The growth in the number of providers has outpaced the ability and time of staff and investment committees to effectively evaluate the providers and the strategies they offer. This growing list of nationally recognized firms has been accompanied by an increase in the complexity of services offered, and the field has become intensely competitive. As a result, there are nearly as many product platforms and models as providers, with a myriad of pricing options.
