The 401(K) Committee/Fiduciary : What Are The Real Fiduciary Responsibilities Of Committee Members And Advisors?

This book is written for Plan Sponsors of 401(k) plans and their Committees or Advisors. Most of the book is also applicable for other types of retirement plans such as 403(b) plans. However, it is focused on Participant-directed 401(k) plans where the Participants have investment choices in the plan. One of the first tasks every 401(k) Committee should complete is to figure out who the Fiduciaries are and what they are responsible for. Yet most Committee members don't seem to know, or they get the answer wrong. This book will help you with this important task. Most Committees focus on the investments in 401(k) plans, and this is an important part of the plan. However, the administration of the plan gets overlooked too frequently. If you ask the typical ERISA attorney, they would probably agree that a large majority of the issues in retirement plans are administrative-based and not investment-based. We will discuss some of the key administrative issues that a Committee, Plan Administrator or Plan Sponsor need to be aware of. There probably is not a 401(k) plan around that is in perfect compliance with the laws or Fiduciary governance. The rules are so complicated and convoluted. We should strive to do our best, and reading this book will help.
