For medical practices, a competitive 401(k) plan is essential for attracting and keeping top talent. However, many practices discover that their Empower plans have high fees and outdated investment options. These costs affect staff retirement results and expose physicians and owners to fiduciary risk. Conducting a benchmarking review offers the clarity and protection you need.
Holland Capital Management in Taylors, SC
The first thing to consider when looking to find a financial advisor in Taylors, SC: who are the team members? That’s critical since your financial well-being requires a lot more than just portfolio management. Along with attention to investments, you will likely need other services.

About Taylors, South Carolina
Taylors
Taylors is a census-designated place (CDP) in Greenville County, South Carolina, United States. The population was 23,222 at the 2020 census.

The Problem
- Many practices rely on Empower through payroll or advisor relationships without fully understanding the true costs.
- Fees can be concealed in revenue-sharing agreements, high-cost fund share classes, or administrative fees.
- These hidden costs decrease participant balances and increase fiduciary risk for the plan sponsor.
Why Benchmarking Matters
Physicians and practice owners acting as fiduciaries must guarantee that plan fees are reasonable. Benchmarking compares your Empower plan to peer practices, supporting a defensible fiduciary process. Litigation has demonstrated that even small and mid-sized practices can be held responsible for excessive fees.
