MG Trust supports individual, employer-sponsored
and custodial plan businesses delivered through Financial Institutions
including: banks, Third party administrators, financial planners and registered
investment advisors, and broker-dealers. We provide these institutions
with the ability to deliver a wide variety of investment options and services
to meet their clients' needs.
Whether we serve as a directed trustee or the accounts are self-trusteed,
Customers can access the custodial and support services they need.
As directed trustee, MG Trust serves as custodian holding legal title
to plan assets, but is directed by others with regard to the management
and disposition of plan assets.
As custodian, MG Trust is responsible for safekeeping Customers' assets
and will receive instruction from the plan administrator and/or its delegates
regarding management and disbursement of plan assets.
There are a number of advantages of using MG Trust as directed trustee:
- Specialization in understanding the needs
of plan sponsors, financial advisers, and administrators of qualified
retirement plans;
- Experience in the handling the complexities of trust
management;
- Dedication to acting in the best interest
of plan participants and beneficiaries without conflicts of interest
in providing plan services. Since assets are controlled by a corporate
trustee, plan participants receive an extra degree of protection that
plan assets will be used solely in the interest of the plan participants
and beneficiaries;
- Accurate trust accountings, administrative
functions and other specialized fiduciary reporting services that are
designed for qualified plans and other institutional investors;
- Corporate trustees are regulated and monitored
by a variety of governmental agencies and held to higher standards than
individual trustees;
- The presence of a corporate trustee may lower
the plan’s audit fees as a result of a “limited scope audit”
