However, sponsoring a retirement plan also comes with important responsibilities, including selecting appropriate investment options, monitoring plan performance, evaluating fees and providing employees with access to a retirement program that is properly managed.<\/p>\n<p>JKR &amp; Company provides retirement plan advisory services designed to help business owners and plan sponsors better understand these responsibilities and make informed decisions regarding their company&#8217;s retirement plan.<br \/>\nJamie Ellis, President of JKR &amp; Company, stated, \u201cBusiness owners have many responsibilities when it comes to running their companies, and managing a retirement plan can be complicated. We work with plan sponsors to help them understand their responsibilities and provide guidance designed to help them make informed decisions about their retirement plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBusiness owners should not assume that once a retirement plan is established, their responsibilities are finished,\u201d said Ellis. \u201cPlans should be reviewed on an ongoing basis. We help business owners understand what they should be looking at and provide ongoing guidance as they evaluate their retirement plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JKR &amp; Company can assist plan sponsors with investment selection, portfolio management and ongoing retirement plan advisory services. For business owners considering establishing a retirement plan, JKR &amp; Company can also provide guidance regarding available retirement plan options and help them evaluate potential strategies for their company.<\/p>\n<p>JKR &amp; Company has been providing financial services since 1979. The firm was founded by J. Kemp Richards, who continues to serve as an advisor to the company. Richards began working in the investment business in 1969 and graduated from the USC with a B.S. in Finance in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>Current company President Jamie Ellis has been a financial advisor with JKR for 27 years, holding Series 63 and Series 65 licenses and bringing 32 years of industry experience.<\/p>\n<p>JKR &amp; Company provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and retirement plan advisory services to individuals, high net worth clients and plan sponsors.
