Advisory Services
We offer wealth management and pension consulting advisory services.
Our Wealth Management product consists of investment advisory services and financial planning
based upon an evaluation of each client’s investment objectives, as determined through meetings
between Opus and the client and/or through an evaluation of instructions or documents made
available to Opus, such as investment advisory agreements, client information data sheets and/or
trust agreements. As appropriate, the advisory services will also reflect changes in investment
objectives communicated to Opus by the client or its representatives. Wealth Management clients
may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
We have traditionally provided pension consulting services as an ERISA Section 3(21) consultant.
Under that section, we make recommendations to our plan sponsor clients, but the clients are
ultimately responsible for accepting or rejecting our advice and making all final decisions. We also
offer pension consulting services as an ERISA Section 3(38) consultant. Under Section 3(38), the
consultant assumes full discretionary authority for designing the IPS and selecting and
implementing the menu of investment options made available to plan participants. The plan-
sponsor client is no longer legally responsible
for making these decisions, and the consultant
accordingly assumes a higher level of fiduciary responsibility and exposure to potential legal
liability. Even when acting as a Section 3(38) consultant, however, we do not assume
responsibility from plan participants for allocating their plan accounts among the various
investment options we have selected for the plan.
The investment services which Opus offers do not include services such as estate planning, tax
advice or addressing insurance needs.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2022, our firm had the following assets under management:
Discretionary: $654,917,819
Non-discretionary: $239,478,613
Total: $894,396,432
As of December 31, 2022, we had $239,478,613 of clients' assets under management on a non-
discretionary basis. Although when acting as an ERISA Section 3(38) investment manager we
will have certain broad discretionary authority over the design of plan investment options, we do
not choose among the available options for plan participants and do not consider such plans’
assets to be under discretionary management.
ERISA Accounts
We are deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or individual
retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act
("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively.
As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal
Revenue Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of
compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, we may only charge fees for
investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons do not receive
any commissions or 12b-1 fees, or conversely, investment advice about products for which our
firm and/or our related persons receive commissions or 12b-1 fees, however, only when such
fees are used to offset our advisory fees.
