37. The Responsibility of Proper Fee Evaluation for Your Retirement Plan
What fee does your company pay for its retirement plan? How does the cost compare to the industry’s? As a fiduciary, are you properly monitoring and communicating your retirement plan’s total cost? Increased focus on fee transparency and the new Pension Protection Act guidelines have brought retirement plan fee evaluation and oversight to the forefront. Gain a better understanding of these issues and how to properly evaluate and manage them.

38. What a Difference a Year Makes
Since the passage of PPA 2006, adoption of automatic plan features has dramatically accelerated; but the impact has been uneven. This workshop looks at how “auto” has changed the DC landscape and discusses the opportunity that lies before plan sponsors. It examines three case studies of plan sponsors whose differing implementation strategies produced substantially different results. Learn why plans are experiencing these disparities and what can be done to ensure that auto-features consistently move the retirement readiness needle forward. Explore, as well, other components of plan design that must be addressed to continue to capitalize on the momentum from PPA.

39. Tricks, Traps and Target-Date Funds
As target-date funds proliferate in 401(k) plans, what tricks do plan sponsors need to be aware of to protect them from making a poor investment decision? What traps have been set along the way to lead plan sponsors down the wrong path? This interactive session outlines the steps necessary to avoid common tricks and traps by highlighting examples of evaluating, implementing and monitoring target-date and other DC plan funds.

40.
Target-Date and Target-Risk Funds: We Put Them on the Menu, Now How Are They Doing?
Plan sponsors have been adding target-date and/or target-risk funds to plan menus to help participants find an easier way to diversify and make solid choices in planning for retirement. How do you monitor these funds? What are the appropriate comparisons? Who are their peers? Discuss benchmarks and peer groups that may help in evaluating and monitoring asset allocation funds.
