First Mercantile Introduces Enrollment Meeting Service Targeted to Plan Sponsor Goals
MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- First Mercantile, a leading provider of 401(k) plans, announced today the introduction of an enrollment meeting service that complements the service offering investment professionals provide to plan sponsors. Enrollment meetings are conducted onsite and are fully customizable, modular presentations targeted to an organization's needs.
"With our singular focus on retirement, our goal is to provide innovative participant education that acknowledges each organization's goals. A face-to-face workshop can be one of the most effective means of communication about retirement planning, providing employees with the opportunity to learn new skills and ask questions," said Ian Sheridan, president and CEO of First Mercantile.
The meetings can be delivered either by the plan's investment professional or by one of 50 professional enrollment meeting specialists. Enrollment meeting specialists are strategically located in major cities across the country, enabling plan sponsors to offer meetings in multiple locations if necessary. The presentations can be customized to address specific goals – to increase plan participation, boost savings rates or improve investment diversification – and tailored to employees' varied levels of understanding. Presentations are available in English or Spanish.
"At First Mercantile, our approach is to help employees enroll, invest with confidence and stay on track to retirement readiness," said Patrice Saddler, director of marketing. "We are confident that this service will help sponsors achieve their plan goals."
Investment professionals are invited to contact their First Mercantile internal sales specialist to learn more about the optional enrollment meeting service, including fees and availability.
