Symetra has partnered with Mesirow Financial to provide plan sponsors with co-fiduciary protection. As a Registered Investment Advisor, Mesirow offers fund selection, monitoring, and asset allocation services.

Their step-by-step selection process is:
- Analyze the funds that comprise the universe of investment options.
- Apply quantitative analysis to classify funds into peer groups to identify those that have consistent style and can add excess return while controlling excess risk.
- Determine preliminary list of selected funds categorized by asset class.
- Perform qualitative review of fund managers using detailed questionnaires, manager interviews and holdings analysis.
- Develop Mesirow Elite List, consisting of pre-selected investment options.
As experts in fund selection and asset allocation, Mesirow is confident in their recommendations and agrees to share fiduciary responsibility with the plan sponsor with respect to the investment selections on the Mesirow Elite List.
