The Center for Due Diligence (CFDD) is an independent information and strategic services firm serving the retirement plans industry. Formerly the premier provider of 401(k) program competitive analysis, the CFDD is now focused on providing unbiased resources, industry leading conferences, ERISA Advisor Evaluation services, participant advice research and internet broadcasting.

The CFDD's Advisor Conference is the premier educational and networking event targeting the retirement plans advisory industry. More accomplished retirement plan advisors attend the bottom-up, content rich and advisor-centric conference than any other industry event. The CFDD's ratio of advisors to registrants is unmatched.

The CFDD was instrumental in the development of the ERISA Advisor Evaluator (EAE), an online RFP service to help plan sponsors evaluate advisors and professionalize the advisor selection process.  The CFDD also played a key role in the development of the TIAA-CREF Advisor Network, a voluntary and pre-approved  network of RIAs and IARs offered to their institutional clients.  Populated by advisors who have met fiduciary standards and passed a  thorough vetting process, the open architecture participant level advice program was designed to enhance participant outcomes by expanding access to independent advisors.
