Aligning ESG Investments and Trends with Participant Values
Presenter: Edward Farrington, Executive Vice President, Retirement Strategies, Natixis Investment Managers
Moderator: Blaine Aikin, Executive Chairman, Fi360
September 20, 2018
ESG investing saw a 33 percent growth of professionally managed assets -- to $8.72 trillion -- from 2014 to 2016 alone. By the year 2025, 75% of the workforce will be millennials. And this population sees ESG investing as a powerful incentive to invest more for retirement by knowing their investments are doing social good.
What does this mean for advisors? The trends in sustainable investing offer an opportunity for advisors to implement ESG investing into their practice. This presentation educates advisors about ESG investing, the growth trends and investor demands. Times are changing and so are the attitudes of plan participants – and millennials who will be the workforce of tomorrow.

Understanding the causes of 401(k) litigation and how to avoid a lawsuit
Blaine Aikin, Executive Chairman, Fi360 and CEFEX
Duane Thompson, Senior Policy Analyst, Fi360
August 28, 2018
A recent study by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College identified excessive fees, inappropriate investment options, and self-dealing as the primary reasons for lawsuits against 401(k) plans. In this session, we will look at those underlying causes for litigation, how class actions are changing the behavior of plans, and how these cases are often decided based on whether a prudent decision-making process was employed. Finally, we will explore the difference between regulatory compliance versus adhering to professional standards of conduct.

An Introduction to Stable Value Funds
Matt Gnbasik, Managing Partner, Senior ERISA Consultant, Blue Prairie Group, LLC
John Faustino, AIFA®, PPC®, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Fi360
August 21, 2018
Stable Value Funds are already used in the majority of 401(k) plans. Recent regulatory changes around a substitute vehicle, Money Market, Funds, make Stable Value Funds an even more attractive plan choice. While their popularity is growing, Stable Value Funds don’t enjoy the same data and due diligence transparency as other popular investment vehicles.
This webinar includes an overview of what Stable Value Funds are and how they’re used in 401(k) plans. We cover growth drivers, due-diligence criteria and best practices for selection and monitoring these popular investments.
