Highlights from this quarter include:

  • Looking at how participants are allocated and inquiring about what type of benefits would encourage them to stay enrolled in the plan both present opportunities for engagement and education.
  • On the fiduciary front, the release of the Department of Labor’s final rule on “Prudence and Loyalty in Selecting Plan Investments and Exercising Shareholder Rights” and a review of DC plan lawsuits both reinforce the importance of a robust due diligence process.
  • The SECURE 2.0 Act contains multiple provisions that plan sponsors may want to consider adding to their plans.
