For 2024, CEFEX (Centre for Fiduciary Excellence, LLC) has renewed the certification of Sentinel Pension Advisors, Inc. (SPA). This certification is granted by Broadridge to firms that demonstrate adherence to fiduciary best practices. 

Sentinel also received a 10-year CEFEX award, recognizing our commitment to best practices in the retirement industry! This is a hallmark accomplishment for SPA as it signifies conformity to a recognized global standard of fiduciary excellence. This award recognizes our services from 2014-2024 and was given in May 2024. Sentinel did not pay a fee to obtain or market this award.

Sentinel was subject to a rigorous, multi-month audit and certification process guided by the “Prudent Practices® for Investment Advisors”, an industry-recognized handbook that is grounded in law, regulation and professional best practices.
