Experience The Difference with Sandy Spring Bank’s Approach to Your Company’s Retirement Plans.

The Five Differences in Our Approach Mean Better Plan Performance: We’re Objective and Independent. We're Flexible. Our Fees Can Be Paid By the Employer or Through the Plan Assets—or Both. We Evaluate Over 8,000 Funds, and Recommend the Best Funds in Each Class. We Bring a Tradition of Exceptional Service to You and Your Plan. We Have a History of Success.

Difference #1: Objective and Independent Sandy Spring is Totally Independent. We have no ties to any individual mutual fund or fund family. We do not earn fees from the sale of any mutual fund. An honest, trusted relationship and objective recommendations based on investment characteristics of consistently top performing funds. The Benefit to You?

Difference #1: Objective and Independent Our Fees Are Straightforward. They are not hidden in reduced investment returns or under pages of fine print. You’ll know exactly what your plan costs you—making you a more responsible fiduciary. The Benefit to You?

“…like any other fiduciary obligation under ERISA, plan sponsors simply are required to ensure that the plan operates in the best interest of the participants…that includes a responsibility to make sure that the fees paid by the plan are reasonable… Therein lies the rub. How can plan sponsors fulfill their fiduciary obligations…if they do not even know what they are paying?” —Plan Sponsor Magazine, 2003

Difference #2: Flexibility in How Fees Are Paid Fees Can Be Paid By the Employer or the Plan Assets, or a Combination of the Two. You will have control over how plan costs are to be allocated, helping you better fulfill your fiduciary responsibility. The Benefit to You?

Difference #3: The Best Funds Experienced Portfolio Managers and a Proven Fund Selection Process. Funds are objectively evaluated, based on performance, risk, and other important criteria. This gives your plan the best possible returns in each fund category, and your employees the best investment choices available. The Benefit to You?
