Plan sponsors are being asked to evaluate providers across every corner of their benefits program. As record keeping and advice services concentrate among fewer large providers, having an independent voice in that process matters more than ever.

We're proud to announce that OpenArc Corporate Advisory has expanded its institutional consulting platform to include independent provider search covering retirement, deferred compensation, equity compensation, and HSAs.

Chad Pigg Fife, Principal Partner, Institutional Consulting and Corporate Business Development, said it best: "Whether a sponsor is reviewing a single plan or undertaking a broader evaluation of multiple benefit programs, OpenArc serves as the independent fiduciary partner in the room, helping organizations navigate provider complexity, make informed decisions, and fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities."
