Company 401(k) Plans Owners/Employers

Is your current service provider giving you all they promised?

As you may know, May 19, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the employees of Edison International in which the employees claimed that the investment options in their 401(k) Plan included higher-cost funds rather than lower cost alternatives.

By law, as it relates to employees and their retirement plan, employers must act in the best interests of their employees also known as a fiduciary responsibility.  This applies not only when the plan is established but is an ongoing requirement.  In his opinion, Justice Stephen Breyer said plan administrators must continue “to monitor trust investments and remove imprudent ones.” 

Failure to do so could present a liability to the employer.
