Bret Busacker will be presenting “2015 Fiduciary Hot Topics – What Does the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Department of Labor Think of Your Plan Administration Practices?” at the AmeriBen · IEC Group Annual Management Conference.
This session will provide key insights into how the DOL, the U.S. Supreme Court, and other federal courts view the roles of employers and other fiduciaries in administering qualified retirement plans. We will examine the lessons learned from the 2014 and 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decisions that have looked at fiduciary plan administration. We will also examine the recently published DOL guidance on the role of advisors as retirement plan fiduciaries and consider the impact this guidance will have on the employer-advisor relationship. We will boil the cases and guidance down to a number of best practices employers and service providers should be following.
