October Three was built around a refreshingly different approach to Defined Benefit (DB) plans. In an industry mired in confusion and skepticism, we saw an opportunity to create clarity and build a new understanding of how an organization’s defined benefit plan administration and design can evolve to deliver more.
How we do that is two-fold. First, we design solutions that fit both the urgent needs of today and the impending needs of the future. And we do so with openness and full transparency, granting customers a refreshing level of insight into their plans.
We know how to share our expertise in a way that’s easily understood. As Einstein said: “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” We’re experts in what we do. But we don’t show off what we know. Instead, we’re about communicating in a way that delivers clarity and garners long-term trust.
At the end of the day, we believe in treating our clients fairly and with respect. And we believe that by shedding light on alternative solutions in the DB arena, we can help our clients move from a sense of powerlessness and negativity to one of empowerment.
