Alston & Bird hosted this webinar program on Friday, April 15, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT. The Department of Labor has just finalized its new regulation defining what constitutes fiduciary investment advice. This rule significantly expands the set of persons considered fiduciaries as a result of providing investment advice and raises multiple issues for plan sponsors, ERISA plan fiduciaries and financial advisers. Alston & Bird attorneys with decades of experience advising clients on fiduciary and investment issues invite you to attend a complimentary webinar on the impact of the new fiduciary rules. The webinar highlighted core areas of concern under the new rule, including:
- Scope of the rule – covered plans and arrangements
- Actions that trigger fiduciary status
- The significance of the Best Interest Contract Exemption and associated litigation risks for plan advisers
- Issues for retirement plan sponsors, including the new definition of investment education and contracting with service providers
- Impact on health and welfare plans, including HSAs
