CHICAGO, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Envestnet | Retirement Solutions (ERS), a majority owned subsidiary of Envestnet, Inc. (NYSE: ENV), and a leading provider of unified retirement technology and services to advisors, has now made its fiduciary services solution available to CDM Retirement Consultants, Incorporated ("CDM").

Envestnet | Retirement Solutions (ERS), a subsidiary of Envestnet, Inc. provides retirement advisors with an integrated platform that combines one of the industry's leading practice management technology, research and due diligence, data aggregation, compliance tools and intelligent managed account solutions.

Based in Towson, Maryland, CDM is a leading provider of open architecture retirement plan solutions designed to meet the needs of plan sponsors and their participants. The addition of ERS's comprehensive fiduciary services offering reaffirms CDM's ongoing commitment to helping retirement plan-focused financial advisors access an extensive suite of solutions.

Changing market dynamics and evolving regulation around the role and definition of a fiduciary has led many plan sponsors to seek outside help from qualified professionals to ensure they are meeting their statutory and ethical obligations. ERS uses both qualitative and quantitative criteria and its proprietary SCORE methodology to examine the financial product universe to ultimately provide a workable subset of investments that allows participants to construct well-diversified portfolios.

"ERS works closely with our clients' trusted advisors to customize an investment menu in accordance with an Investment Policy Statement and then conducts ongoing investment research according to those criteria," said Chip Earle, Principal at CDM. "The result is an investment menu that is prudent, thoughtful, and appropriate for plan participants. For plan sponsors, working with a retirement expert not only reduces risk, it gives them more time to focus on running their business."

"CDM is an innovator in their approach to servicing retirement plans, and we believe our fiduciary services are a strong complement to their retirement plan platform," said Babu Sivadasan, Group President ERS. "Outsourcing the investment selection and monitoring duties doesn't just give plan sponsors more time to work on their businesses, it also gives advisors more time to work with their plan sponsor clients."

Envestnet Retirement Solutions delivers innovative fiduciary services to the retirement plan marketplace. Powered by technology, institutional-caliber research, and an experienced staff of investment professionals, ERS helps enhance the plan sponsor-plan advisor relationship with fiduciary support and regular, dependable investment monitoring.
