Lost at Sea – ERISA safe harbors expose participants to increased risk
Dan Long, DoubleLine
Andy Larson, Retirement Learning Center
January 21, 2021
Popular ERISA features inadvertently expose participants to increased levels of investment risk and retirement insecurity. In addition, investment defaults, commonly known as QDIAs, have promoted a one-size-fits-all investment approach. This presentation explores how this situation evolved and the importance of changing this mind-set and trajectory. Next, we explore alternatives available to provide plan participants the support and direction needed to ensure appropriate retirement income planning and investment decision-making. Lastly, we look at the steps plan committees can take to assess and implement these solutions.

Impact Analysis: Unpacking the DOL’s Investment Advice Exemption for Banks & Registered Investment Advisers
Jason C. Roberts, CEO, Pension Resource Institute & Retirement Law Group
Steve Niehoff, COO, Pension Resource Institute
December 18, 2020
Now that the DOL has published its long-awaited final regulation designed to fill the void left when the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the Obama-era “fiduciary rule.” The rule comes in the form of a Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE) that is technical and nuanced, and its impact on banks and RIAs cannot be overstated. Indeed, among other requirements, the conditions of the exemption must be satisfied any time one of their representatives recommends an IRA rollover.
Steve and Jason break down the PTE, discuss strategies for compliance and provide actionable takeaways for attendees.

2020 Fiduciary Year in Review and A Look Ahead
Blaine Aikin, AIFA®, CFP®, CFA, Fiduciary Subject Matter Expert
Duane Thompson, AIFA®, Senior Policy Analyst
December 10, 2020
Investment fiduciaries have grown accustomed to dramatic changes in regulation and new, quasi-fiduciary rules put into effect for investment advice by the SEC and state insurance commissioners. The SEC has opened private equity to thousands of new investors by broadening the definition of an accredited investor, as well as the DOL for defined contribution plans. The DOL also clamped down on ESG investment options in retirement plans. Some states, like Massachusetts, New Jersey and Nevada have reacted by adopting their own fiduciary standard for broker advice. With forthcoming changes in Washington, what should we expect next? On this webinar, fiduciary subject matter expert Blaine Aikin, AIFA®, CFA, CFP® and Fi360 senior policy analyst Duane Thompson, AIFA® look at where things stand today and what to expect as we enter 2021.
