For the first time in years, the IRS has issued new regulations affecting 403(b) plans. When the new regulations come into effect on January 1, 2009, will you be prepared? What should you be doing today to help manage your personal investment and fiduciary liability? What must be in place before the end of 2008? Is your strategy for 90-24 transfers working? Should your strategy of offering benefits change? Join us for an informative session that concisely reviews the new regulations and outlines how you can manage personal liability while providing a plan your employees will appreciate.

38. 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 newly passed 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.

39. Should You Offer a Roth 401(k) to Your Participants?
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 has given permanent viability to Roth 401(k) plans, and many sponsors are considering the addition of this feature to their plans. Learn the ins and outs of the Roth 401(k), review client adoption results, and decide if this option is right for your plan.

41. Everything You Wanted (and Need) to Know but Were Afraid to Ask Your Financial Advisor
Increasingly, plan sponsors work with financial advisors to manage aspects of their plans. As a fiduciary, you need to know what to ask and what responses you should get so that you do not compromise your legal and oversight responsibilities. Where does the financial advisor derive his fees? Does he receive revenue sharing for recommending a fund from one provider over another? Who will provide the education— the financial advisor, the record keeper, or a third party? And, who will pay for education—meetings, printing, postage, mailings, SPDs, fund-change notices, etc.? Plan sponsors need to get the straight answers, in writing, to these and other equally important questions. This workshop gives you guidelines and a list of questions to ask to better protect yourself and your company when dealing with outside advisors.
