RESOLUTE RETIREMENT CONSULTING

Resolute advises as a named fiduciary to plan sponsors, assuming a formal advisory role under ERISA. The firm structures its engagements so that plan committees receive documented fiduciary guidance on investment selection, monitoring, and fee benchmarking. This fiduciary stance is embedded in the firm's service model rather than offered as an optional rider.

Resolute operates on a fee-for-service basis and does not accept commissions, 12b-1 fees, or revenue-sharing payments from investment providers or recordkeepers. This compensation structure is designed to remove conflicts that can arise when an adviser is compensated by the same providers they are evaluating on behalf of the plan.

The firm advises corporate defined contribution plans, including 401(k), 403(b), and 457 plans, as well as defined benefit pension schemes and non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements. The advisory process covers plan design, investment menu architecture, and ongoing fiduciary monitoring across these plan types.

Resolute does not manage proprietary funds or offer any investment products of its own. Its role is strictly advisory: it assists plan committees in selecting and monitoring third-party investment managers and recordkeepers, avoiding the conflict inherent in recommending affiliated funds.

The firm conducts recordkeeper and investment-provider RFPs by leveraging third-party benchmarking data and plan-level analytics. Resolute facilitates the full search process, from drafting the RFP to comparing fee proposals, without aligning with any single provider, so the outcome is driven by plan-level fit rather than a pre-existing selling agreement.
