Investment Consultants (IC) and Compensation & Capital Administrative Services (CCAS) are independent investment professionals focused on providing our Plan participants with objective and helpful information and research tools to progressively expand your knowledge base of personal finance topics. Archives of the Plan's Quarterly Participant Memos (written by CCAS) and Participant Education sessions developed specifically for your Plan are linked here.

Additionally, we are constantly searching for and evaluating commercially-sponsored websites that present financial information resources in an insightful and objective manner, as free from promotional clutter and bias as possible. If you come across a website you think fits these criteria and would help your fellow DHC/MWC Plan participants, please share it with us by sending its web address to us at [email protected]. We will evaluate it and include it here if we agree.
