Dr. Susan Mangiero (Managing Director with Fiduciary Leadership, LLC) and other retirement plan experts will address the topic of "ERISA Litigation and Enforcement: The Role of the Independent Fiduciary and Best Practices for Financial Advisors" on April 8, 2015 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm EST as part of an educational outreach to assist individuals who oversee more than $20 trillion. Sponsored by fi360, company executives and their advisors will learn about relevant court cases and regulatory actions and hear a discussion about how investment stewards can better understand and manage conflicts of interest. Given President Obama's recent push for reform of the retirement management industry, the duties of fiduciaries and their service providers dominate headlines. More details about this forthcoming webinar are provided below.
Description: ERISA litigation and enforcement increasingly involves allegations of conflicts of interest and imprudent decision-making on the part of advisors, consultants, banks and asset managers. In several recent matters, regulators and judges have made it clear that the use of an independent fiduciary would be interpreted as a reflection of procedural prudence and the absence of an independent fiduciary could hasten a decision of fiduciary breach.
