Plan Design Services

Proper plan design is the starting point for all effective retirement plans. Thomas F. Barrett, Inc. has the expertise and experience to design a plan that meets both your company's specific needs and those of your employees.

Flexibility of Plan Options

We will help you to select loan, vesting and eligibility features to custom-design your plan. Our array of prominent investment options and contribution strategies can help you structure the plan that best fits your company.

Trustee Services

Citizens Bancorp acts as trustee for the National Employers Retirement Trust and will provide group trustee services relating to the trust and its investments.

Plan Administration

Thomas F. Barrett, Inc. acts as the third party administrator for the employers participating in the trust, and will generally handle the paperwork involved in processing contributions, loan payments and distributions.

Plan Document

We use a pre-approved volume submitter plan document in establishing your plan. This may allow you to reduce your legal and Internal Revenue Service filing fees compared to a custom plan document, while maintaining maximum flexibility in the plan's design. In certain cases we can use existing plan documents if minimal modifications are required.

On an ongoing basis, this helps you keep the plan in compliance and reduces your cost for amendments. When required due to regulatory changes or plan administration issues, we will prepare amendments for your plan.
