Your Plan, Your Choice

the foundation for every Brinker capital plan is built around the belief that independent and completely

objective analysis with broad diversification in model portfolios provides the best opportunity for plan

participants to reach their investment goals. We also understand that participants may also wish to

choose specific funds or investments to complement a particular strategy. Brinker Capital offers a

platform that can accomplish all of this while providing fiduciary coverage for all investments that we

manage.

• individual investment Options – We provide a large list of mutual funds, actively managed and

indexed, and exchange-traded funds to complement our managed accounts.

• managed accounts – Professionally managed portfolios designed to meet specific objectives

based on risk and return characteristics with broad diversification and invested in up to six

different asset classes.

• self-Directed Brokerage – provides a plan the option of adding directed brokerage for

discretionary investing subject to the custodian’s requirements.

a typical Brinker retirement program will offer our managed account platform and usually 10-20

additional individual investment options.

Work with an ERISA 3(38) Fiduciary

It’s a sobering thought: You are a fiduciary. You are personally liable for

the decisions you make for your company’s retirement plan. But you

can delegate much of the fiduciary responsibility to us.

ERISA 3(38) Services

• Act as an independent investment advisor under ERISA Section 3(38) and specifically accept fiduciary status and discretion for the Plan in writing. Under this delegation, the Plan Sponsor is not under any obligation to invest or manage any assets of the plan that the erisa 3(38) investment manager is responsible for investing. this ef-fectuates an ERISA “safe harbor,” which limits the fiduciary responsibility of the Plan Sponsor where a qualified “investment manager” is appointed.

• select a broad range of investment options consistent with erisa section 404(c) and the regulations thereunder. • Construct, maintain and monitor model portfolios for Plan Participants.

• Develop or assist with the development of an investment policy statement (ips) for the plan.

• Exercise full investment discretion with regard to buying, managing and selling assets held in Models.

• Monitor investment options by preparing periodic investment reports that document investment performance, consistency of fund management and conformance to the guidelines set forth in the ips and maintain or remove and replace investment options.

• meet with plan sponsor and/or investment committee on a periodic basis to discuss the reports and the invest-ment recommendations.

Brinker capital retirement plan services is fully compliant with the employee retirement income security act of 1974 (ERISA), and we assume fiduciary responsibility as an erisa 3(38) investment manager. We put it in writing, too. this allows you to focus on the needs of your employees, making good on the trust they

place in you every day and providing the best tools for their retirement. Once we assume a significant amount of fiduciary responsibility, we can help you better understand the underlying principles of our investment methodology and keep you on top—and ahead of—industry changes.
