Looking for list of factors other than cost that a plan sponsor should

[Richard Anderson]

Where can I find a list of factors that a plan sponsor should consider when choosing a TPA or recordkeeper? It seems a lot of plan sponsors think that only one factor, cost, is relevant.

How about (1) background info, (2) implementation capabilities, (3) systems, (4) ongoing admin capabilites, (5) participant services, (6) reporting capabilities, (7) compliance services, (8) quality issues, (9) investment options, (10), trustee services, (11) communication & education, (12) Internet capabilities....?
