Retirement: Solved.
The strength of a retirement plan is in its management, and managing a modern retirement plan amid the ever-changing conditions of today’s world requires careful maintenance and exacting calculation. Plan sponsors and advisors have a duty to ensure that a plan is viable and beneficial to its participants, and those goals demand expert, professional support.
Our clients and their plan participants trust RHI to provide actuarial consulting and plan administration services that promote plan success. We offer an integrated set of services, from plan design customized to meet the needs of each individual participant to rigorous recordkeeping and actuarial calculation. RHI specializes in the fundamental pieces that make retirement plans work.
