Pension Rights Center supports proposed DOL regulation on definition of fiduciary

The Pension Rights Center sent a letter to members of Congress supporting a proposed Department of Labor regulation that would protect participants in 401(k) plans and IRAs by changing the definition of a plan “fiduciary” to include firms and brokers that provide investment advice for a fee. This important regulation will ensure that those who give investment advice must act solely in the interests of workers and retirees – not for their own profit. This proposed regulation would help protect the retirement security of American families.

Accompanying the letter was a memo that provides additional detail about the proposed regulation.
