Investment Strategies for Current Legal and Regulatory Challenges
The legal and regulatory climate for retirement plan investments has recently become more complex.
Sponsors and in-house fiduciaries of some of the nation’s largest 401(k) plans are currently facing class-action lawsuits that assert various ERISA violations relating to fees and expenses. More litigation is expected. In addition, the Pension Protection Act contains several provisions that may affect plan investments.
On December 5, Watson Wyatt hosted a web conference, “Investment Strategies for Current Legal and Regulatory Challenges” to discuss how recent legal and regulatory developments may affect pension plan investments.
The presentation examined what current lawsuits and other legal and regulatory developments tell plan fiduciaries, what more can be done to understand and monitor fees and expenses, and what opportunities and pitfalls there are for plan sponsors in a post-reform world.
