In this web seminar sponsored by Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, dynamic and highly experienced attorneys from Morgan Lewis will lead an interactive online presentation about the responsibilities of ERISA plan fiduciaries in connection with the growing number of investigations and allegations of trading abuses within the mutual fund industry. In this program, we will focus on the actions that should be taken by the prudent plan fiduciary in response to these developments and the special considerations applicable to 401(k) and other participant-directed plans. The program will also specifically address market timing and the imposition of redemption fees or trading restrictions on plan participants. At the conclusion of this seminar, you will have a better understanding of the duties of a plan fiduciary in the context of the mutual fund crisis, the range of alternative course of action available to fiduciaries and the best methods and procedures to be employed by fiduciaries in meeting this challenge.
