401(k) Fee Webinar on November 28




In the aftermath of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, 401(k) plan sponsors are required to carefully select "fiduciary advisors", identify appropriate default investment choices for participants and comply with more rigorous federal reporting procedures. All of this could spell trouble for retirement plan fiduciaries who fail to realize that regulation, public awareness and employee angst put them in the spotlight as never before. This is especially apropos with respect to plan fees.

In a flurry of lawsuits involving nearly a dozen U.S. corporations, allegations of fiduciary breach regarding “excessive” compensation are making headlines. At the same time, the U.S. Department of Labor urges decision-makers to take care in assessing the reasonableness of fees and to uncover hidden costs.

Join us on November 28, 2006 from 11:00 a.m. to noon (EST) for an informative and timely webinar about 401(k) plan fees - what they are, how they can affect reported performance and the fiduciary practices that address investment management fees. Click here to register. There is a small charge to cover production expenses.
