Retirement

Sponsors administering 401(k) plans with assets of $100 million to more than $1 billion indicated that they are not only taking responsibility for retirement preparedness but are also taking these actions.

GOP representatives today introduced a bill to overturn the DOL fiduciary rule, a day before the rule's effective date.

Some employers mistakenly think the fiduciary rule won't affect how they administer retirement plans, since they're already fiduciaries -- but there's plenty of gray area where plan sponsors might get into trouble, say compliance experts.

The DOL may seem like its targeting service providers, but the true intent is to protect employee investors, and that means plan sponsors are on the hook, too.

Will the vagueness of the fiduciary rule's impartial conduct standards give advisors on retirement plans some protection during the rules transition period?

What's worse, 56 percent of Americans don't think they'll have affordable health insurance in the future.
