Securing a Trustee
What is a Trustee?

ERISA has 4 main standards for retirement plan fiduciaries:

  • Duty of loyalty
  • Duty of prudence
  • Duty to diversify investments (except for ESOPs which can be invested solely or primarily in Company stock)
  • Duty to follow plan documents

And, the 3 key principals that guide fiduciary actions:
•    Act solely in the best interest of plan participants and their beneficiaries
•    Act for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to plan participants
•    Use the care, skill and prudence in the management of plan assets

How Does a Trustee Operate?

Trustees and fiduciaries must:

  • Pay attention, meet regularly and review all plan operations
  • Follow procedural prudence
  • Keep in mind obligations to participants outweigh those to the boss, board and shareholders

And, the risk is personal liability if there is a breach of duty Liability for other fiduciaries who breach their duty

Don’t be deceived into thinking:

  • Hiring investment managers relieves liability
  • Employees making their own investment choices relieves liability (ESOPs do not offer employee choice)
  • Fidelity bonds and D&O insurance is protection
