FIRM PROFILE

Unified Trust specializes in the fiduciary management of ualified retirement plans. We were one of the first discretionary trustees in the country, taking full discretion and liability for the assets of the plans we serve. Serving as a discretionary trustee, and thus a named plan fiduciary, means we are re uired by law to act solely in the interest of participants and beneficiaries. We ve taken this legal re uirement and turned it into the foundation of our company culture. Unified Trust is recognized nationally for its fiduciary expertise and for being a leader in successfully improving participant outcomes.

RETIREMENT LEARNING CENTER

The UnifiedPlan is a proprietary retirement account strategy that helps improve retirement outcomes through intentional features and designs. Unified Trust looks at portfolio management as a fiduciary function. The UnifiedPlan is a defined goal account management system that creates an actuarially valid target income for each participant, then manages to that target. The income target is based on a very robust set of data, including any supplemental information the employee provides. As markets and life changes, so do the targets, the account balance, the funded status, and the re uired savings rate.
