Castle Rock, Wagner Law Team up on Fee Disclosure Solution
AXIS is a comprehensive servicing platform that addresses the Department of Labor-mandated 408(b)(2) fee disclosure requirements that come into effect in January 2012. Wagner is constructing a reporting kit designed to help broker/dealers, recordkeepers, registered investment advisers (RIAs), trust companies and banks that will be integrated with the AXIS platform. Wagner will also provide legal and ERISA support to CRI customers for meeting the new regulations.
“We partnered with The Wagner Law Group for many reasons, but the main being their recognition as being the largest and most respected ERISA law practice in the country,” said Tom Loch, Senior Vice President of Castle Rock Innovations, LLC. “We wanted to have the blueprint for our documents constructed for our clients by ERISA experts thus taking out all of the guessing games for what is required for 408(b)(2) reporting requirements. We also wanted to have Wagner Law Group support our clients from a legal and compliance prospective.”
CRI also recently partnered with Millennium Investment and Retirement Advisors for fiduciary analytics and consulting services to enhance the AXIS platform (see “Firms Partner to Provide Fee Disclosure Solution“).
