Benchmark Financial Services, Inc., specializes in investigations of pension fraud, money management abuses and wrongdoing involving securities brokerages and pension investment consultants. Our investigations frequently focus upon illegal or unethical business practices that are commonplace in the securities brokerage, asset management and consulting industries, as well as hidden or poorly disclosed financial arrangements between vendors to pensions.   

As a result of the groundbreaking investigations we undertake into arcane pension financial matters, we are uniquely capable of identifying problematic business practices and predicting future regulatory developments. Periodically we are invited to share our findings with law enforcement, regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

Benchmark focuses upon conducting forensic reviews of the investment management process and financial products within pensions. Since the United States is generally at the forefront of asset management and pension matters, our cutting-edge investigations of pension fraud and money management wrongdoing in the United States can be especially valuable to pensions operating abroad that seek to avoid the mistakes U.S. pensions have made. While our clients are typically larger pensions, smaller pensions, in our experience, are far more likely to be victims of fraud and wrongdoing. 

Benchmark has undertaken investigations involving defined benefit, defined contribution pension plans and other qualified plans. Included within these plans have been financial products such as mutual funds, variable annuities, hedge funds and private equity funds.
