Topic: 401(k) and Fiduciary Liability. What you should know.
Speaker: April Rice



How much do you know about the Fiduciary Responsibilities you have as a trustee on your company's 401(k) plan? April Rice will walk you through the Fiduciary Guidelines and discuss some real life scenarios that you may come across. We will have a discussion on ways to interpret the Department of Labor's loose language, such as what they mean by the words reasonable, in the best interest of, and diversified investments. April will also discuss the ways in which trustees, fiduciaries, and businesses as a whole can protect themselves from a Fiduciary standpoint, and what types of documentation you should have ready, should the DOL ever show up at your door to look into your 401(k) plan.
