Tigard, OR -- Fiduciary Decisions (FDI) announced today that it will be launching a redesigned user experience for its DOL PTE 2020-02 full-service solution in advance of the DOL’s December 21st implementation deadline. A prototype is available for clients and prospects to view now. 

“Not surprisingly, the industry said it needed an easy, intuitive and fully configurable advisor interface given the deadline. In keeping with FDI’s history we responded with an enhanced solution keeping all the advantages of our current offering, including best-in-class benchmarking data in just a few months.” indicated Tom Kmak CEO of Fiduciary Decisions. 

Matt Golda, Chief Operating Officer at Fiduciary Decisions who is also leading the DOL PTE solution redesign efforts added, “We understand given the DOL’s implementation deadline and our clients’ need to tailor solutions to their specific business models that they will take a number of different approaches to complying which may include iterative implementations. We wanted to be able to support our clients regardless of their business model or implementation path.” 

The redesigned user experience includes the following key enhancements: 

• Enhanced user experience enables an advisor to complete the simple process of documenting client interactions in just minutes 
• Outsourced processing of investor 404a-5 or FDI’s industry best benchmark group data when the 404a-5 is unavailable 
• All “from/to” account iterations including consideration of the new plan, where applicable 
• The Best Interest disclosure is customizable 

To meet the DOL deadline, FDI offers two additional solutions for those firms that need an interim solution: 

1. FDI Connect – to enhance existing workflows 
   • Components (data, method, and/or output) that can be incorporated into your existing rollover workflow 
   • Integration via flexible APIs 
2. Plan Benchmarking data for when (not if) actual plan data isn’t available 
   • Avoid the use of stale/incomplete/unavailable public filing or crowd sourced plan data 
   • Plan benchmarking data is the next best option for use in meeting the PTE per the DOL
