For medical practices, a competitive 401(k) plan is essential for attracting and keeping top talent. However, many practices discover that their John Hancock plans have high fees and outdated fund choices. These expenses affect staff retirement outcomes and pose fiduciary risks for physicians and owners. A benchmarking review offers the clarity and protection you need.

The Problem
Many practices utilize John Hancock through payroll or advisor relationships without fully understanding the actual costs.- Fees may be embedded in revenue-sharing arrangements, high-cost fund share classes, or administrative charges.
- These hidden costs reduce participant balances and increase fiduciary risk for the plan sponsor.
Why Benchmarking Matters
- Physicians and practice owners serving as fiduciaries must ensure that plan fees are reasonable.
- Benchmarking compares your John Hancock plan against peer practices, providing a defensible fiduciary process.
- Litigation has made it clear: even small and mid-sized practices can be held liable for excessive fees.
