"If they (ACEC Members) were out there on the open market on their own, there’s no way that they would be able to find a plan with benefits as high-level and with the quality of service that we’ve been able to achieve... We have full confidence in recommending ACEC Retirement Trust to ACEC members, and I have full confidence as a CEO in providing that benefit to our staff as well."

"Every year since we started with the Trust in 1999 we’ve compared it with other 401(k) plans and ACEC Retirement Trust has been the best. Expenses are lower. Other plans nickel and dime you but with the Trust, everything is included. They’re there to back us up and really helpful."

"You’ve got a non-profit running the Trust versus a for-profit out in the public market place. Hands down the Trust wins all the time. The service providers know how to do what they do. We were recently acquired and made comparisons, but our ACEC Retirement Trust plan can’t be matched."

“The Trust makes smart investment choices on our behalf while insulating us from fiduciary liability and has good educational programs. The fees are low…which puts more money back into employees’ retirement funds, a big attraction when it comes to recruitment.”

“The Trust aligns really well with our mission, helping to make our company a best place to work. I’ve been vested in the Trust for 30 years. They are individual-centric. The Trust will compete against anybody, with competitive fees and other benefits like education and guidance.”
