THE TRADITIONAL 401(K) IS BROKEN,
ELLIOTT COVE IS A LEADER IN IT’S TRANSFORMATION.
OUR FIDUCIARY, LIGHTHOUSE 401K PLATFORM STANDS READY.
WE’RE PROVIDING PLANS THAT AVOID CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, HIDDEN FEES, AND COSTLY BROKERS.
The Lighthouse Platform
A FIDUCIARY 401(K) PLATFORM FROM ELLIOTT COVE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
WE SPECIALIZE IN RETIREMENT PLANS FOR COMMUNITY BANKS, SMALL & MID-SIZED COMPANIES, START-UPS AND INDIVIDUALS.
RESPONSIBLE FEES
Obscure or “hidden” fees often cause America’s workers to miss out on their best retirement years. The solution is a low-cost, managed Lighthouse 401(k) plan, with fully disclosed, responsible fees.
PERSONALIZED SERVICES
Avoid plans that will involve commissions. Choose a plan administered by Registered Investment Advisors (RIA), who receive ongoing fees for providing 1:1 service to you and your Lighthouse plan.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Based on the concept of Efficient Markets, our focus and emphasis on Disciplined Asset Allocation is designed to provide risk adjusted portfolios that are often at lower costs.
FIDUCIARY CONTROL
As the retirement plan sponsor for all your employees, you are a fiduciary. Elliott Cove can minimize that risk, effectively dealing with the scrutiny currently focused on retirement plan sponsors and fiduciaries.

DON’T LOSE HALF OF YOUR RETIREMENT ASSETS TO SILENT FEES.
Many retirement plans have confusing or obscure fees, not to mention a near majority with exorbitant, declared fees. These fees are having a significant, negative impact, and liberating your plan and its participants of their retirement savings. With the Elliott Cove Lighthouse 401(k) Platform, your total fees will be significantly less. Most importantly, all fees will be transparent and disclosed. Both set-up and administrative fees. If you are the trustee, you are required to know and understand all fees associated with your plan. You cannot meet this obligation without full disclosure.
The simple fact is –
“The more you pay in fees, the less you’ll have in retirement.”
We not only disclose all our fees, we encourage you to examine your current plan fees and compare them to Elliott Cove Capital Management’s fees by using the plan cost and fee calculators we’re providing below.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
At Elliott Cove, we are not trying to sell you or your employees any particular stock, bond or mutual fund. Instead, we offer managed portfolios. Managed investment portfolios are constructed using efficient funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), with whom we have a strategic alliance, and other high quality index funds, that provide broad diversification and the potential for superior returns. Through Disciplined Asset Allocation, we provide the opportunity for greater portfolio stability, lower costs, attractive long term results and ultimately, greater peace of mind.

FIDUCIARY CONTROLS
WHAT IS A FIDUCIARY, AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?
A Fiduciary is someone who is willingly undertaken the responsibility to act for and on behalf of another in a particular matter in circumstances which give rise to a relationship of trust and confidence.
ESSENTIALLY, IT’S SOMEONE WHO IS BOUND BY LAW
TO PUT YOUR INTERESTS IN FRONT OF THEIRS.
THREE REASONS WHY THAT MATTERS.
1. YOU SHOULD REDUCE YOUR PERSONAL, AND YOUR FIRM’S LIABILITY.
2. YOU NEED TO ENSURE THAT YOU’RE PUTTING YOUR MONEY INTO PRODUCTS THAT WILL GROW WEALTH FOR THE FUTURE, NOT THE WEALTH OF YOUR FINANCIAL PROFESSIONAL.
3. YOU NEED A PLAN MANAGER THAT BELIEVES THAT IT IS THEIR JOB TO DELIVER SUPERIOR INVESTMENTS AND ULTIMATELY, MORE MONEY AVAILABLE AT RETIREMENT.
REGULATED
It’s the new reality. Fiduciary DOL regulations took effect in 2017, with full compliance by 2020. Elliott Cove has adhered since our inception.
RESPONSIBLE
It helps you build your wealth with clear, definitive roles and rules for plan sponsors and advisors.
PROVEN
Our Lighthouse plans reduce conflicts of interests and controls to fees, producing stronger returns.
EFFECTIVE
Since 2002 Lighthouse plans have improved overall compliance and help avoid DOL audits and sponsor fines.

ON AVERAGE, NEARLY 40% OF AMERICANS ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THEIR 401(K).
OF THOSE AMERICAN WORKERS PARTICIPATING IN 401(K) RETIREMENT PLANS, MANY ARE LOSING FAR TOO MUCH OF THEIR NEST-EGG TO EXORBITANT FEES, AND MANY PLANS MAY NOT COMPLY TO DOL REGULATIONS OR HAVE FIDUCIARY CONTROLS IN PLACE.
The percentage of American workers who are eligible, but not participating, have matching funds available and still have no significant savings needs to improve, and we can help. Call us today at 206 267 2683 and make sure you’re taking advantage of every opportunity to build a compliant, effective and affordable retirement plan.
