Winnipeg-based Great-West Life Assurance Company has introduced an interactive, responsive sponsor resource centre that simplifies how plan compliance is monitored.
The new suite of tools provide enhanced reporting that illustrates member behaviours to create a meaningful way for sponsors to understand member investment decisions.
“Great-West Life’s sponsor resource centre and its tools were developed based on research and in-depth discussions with key sponsors and other industry stakeholders,” says Jeff Aarssen, senior vice-president, group retirement services, wealth management.
“Their insights contributed to the development of a resource centre that makes it easier for sponsors to make strategic decisions about their plans, which can help members achieve their personal financial goals.”
Sponsors and their advisors can easily view plan activity and spot trends by age ranges, asset classes, points-in-time, or plan types, among many other options.
Advisors can add value for their clients by accessing the plan governance tool and completing capital accumulation plan (CAP) reviews and, as applicable, Canadian Association of Pension Supervisory Authorities (CAPSA) reviews on behalf of their clients. Both sponsors and advisors can use this tool’s notes feature to discuss compliance questions or make recommendations directly in the tool.
The sponsor resource centre is fully compatible with desktop and mobile devices such as tablets.
