Our focus on customization stems from our belief and experience that no two institutional clients are exactly alike in their needs, objectives and circumstances. We begin by helping you define the objectives, goals and parameters through the development of an Investment Policy Statement.
This statement is the foundation for how an investment program is expected to operate, providing clear risk and return objectives, performance evaluation standards, and any portfolio constraints that must be considered. We believe proper development and review of the policy are keys to the success of an investment strategy.
Once a plan is established, we employ an extensive monitoring program that scrutinizes investment returns, asset allocation and expenses to help ensure that all aspects of your plan are performing according to design.
Important steps we follow:
- We make investment recommendations for the board’s approval.
- We compile all relevant financial data in an organized binder and follow up with an executive summary that gives each client a big-picture view at a glance.
- We prepare a watch list of investment funds for clients to review. If a fund has been on the watch list for three quarters or more, we will make recommendations for replacing it.
- We notify vendors of any changes so they can replace or delete funds on their platform, then let participants know when any changes are made.
- We conduct educational meetings for plan participants and quarterly investment reviews for plan sponsors.
- Gary Handler acts as a 3(21) fiduciary and in certain relationships may act as a 3(38) fiduciary.

The "PLANADVISER Top 100 Retirement Plan Advisers" list is compiled from responses to the PLANADVISER Retirement Plan Adviser Survey. The list is drawn solely from a set of quantitative variables and information in the survey supplied by the advisers themselves. To become eligible for this quantitative listing, advisers must complete the annual PLANADVISER Retirement Plan Adviser Survey, fielded each September. A subsegment of the questions was used to determine eligibility for the Top 100. Categories in which advisers compete are determined by the number of advisers and the number of total employees (including support staff). We highlight the quantitative standouts according to the dollar value of qualified plan AUA as well as the number of plans under advisement. The award is not representative of any one client's experience, and is not an endorsement, and is not indicative of advisor's future performance. Raymond James is not affiliated with the Financial Times. Individuals had to have 65 or more plans or at least $500 million in AUA; teams needed to advise at least $1.5 billion in assets or a minimum of 125 plans; and multi-office teams needed to oversee $2.5 billion in plan assets or 200 or more plans.
