The Compliance Blame Game – Win by Staying out of the Fray
Have you ever been blamed for a compliance issue in a client’s plan? While typically not under the purview of your investment advisor agreement, plan sponsors may still view you as their compliance consultant. When things go wrong, they may look to you to fix it for them or to assess blame. Find out what the most common compliance issues are so you can take proactive steps as the investment advisor to avoid the blame game and stay out of the compliance fray.
With insights from Susan L. Hajek, CPFA, Retirement Plan Consultant at SageView Advisory Group; and Summer Conley, Partner, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP.
“Ill” Literates: Participant Education Doesn’t Work?
Financial education produced better outcomes in the early years of 401(k) plans, then the level of increases leveled out. Automatic features have helped get better outcomes, but are we leveling off? Are we getting to a point where we need to get participants to take ownership in their financial health to get better outcomes. Getting participants to take ownership is different from education. Hear about what drives adults to take action.
With Doug Prince, CEO of ProCourse Fiduciary Advisors, LLC; Alison L. O’Malley, PhD, Human Capital Practice Lead at Butler University Business Consulting Group; and Corby Dall, President and Managing Partner of 401k Advisors Intermountain.
