Are Your Recordkeeping Relationships Service-Able?

Perhaps no function is as integral to the successful operation of a plan as that of the recordkeeper – both good, and bad. This week we’d like to know about your experience(s) – and how that has changed, if at all, over the past two years.

Indeed, nothing can so completely or rapidly sour a relationship as bad recordkeeping, and therefore it’s no real surprise as to what the advisor-respondents to the 2019 NAPA Summit Insider said was their primary consideration in selecting a recordkeeper.
