The Players in your Retirement Plan
A 401(k) plan for a small business includes pieces which all play a vital role. Any missing part can make a retirement plan offering substandard. Shelton Capital Management works closely with our partners to provide you with a reasonably priced, bundled solution that reduces the complexity and provides optimal results to all stakeholders.

Fiduciary services
401(k) small business plan sponsors have fiduciary responsibilities when providing this offering to participants. Some of the fiduciary responsibilities include:
- Follow plan documents
- Act in the interest of plan participants
- Diversify investment options and pay reasonable fees
- Form a Plan Committee for plan oversight
Shelton Capital Management is a 3(38) investment fiduciary on 401(k) single and multiple employer plans acting as the outsourced investment committee. We conduct investment selection and monitoring, and we offer quarterly documentation to the plan sponsor. Only an ERISA 3(38) investment manager can be considered a fiduciary investment manager and any other type of advisor leaves the plan sponsor as the sole fiduciary for these responsibilities (see FAQs for more information).
Educational Support
Our Unique Value Proposition: Trickle Up Effect
While other service providers focus solely on the small and medium business owner (SMB) and on the administration of the company’s 401(k) plan, we go one step further. Shelton Capital Management helps the 401(k) plan participants by providing online and on-site live investment education sessions. This step is critical in helping boost participation rates. Why are participation rates important? We call it the ‘Trickle Up Effect’.
We provide concierge-level service and support that not only goes a long way in helping employees start saving for retirement, but we make you look good in the process. Besides online and live education sessions, our experienced service professionals answer participant calls and provide ongoing support. We also offer online tools and resources for educational purposes.
