  • Newport Group, Inc., an Ascensus company, is the 402(a) named fiduciary and the 3(16) administrative fiduciary.
  • Wilshire acts as the discretionary 3(38) investment manager and has developed a streamlined menu of investment options to include the American Funds Target Date Retirement Series®, a personalized target date service.
