Thoughts on Costs and Fees in 401(k) Plans
Stephen Rosenberg, The Wagner Law Group [Opinion] May 20, 2009 Excerpt: I am thinking in particular today of the court's treatment of the amount and lack of transparency of the fees and costs in the plan before it as essentially not important, for all intents and purposes, either to participants, or, seemingly, to the court's analysis of the plan's obligations. A deeper look at the role of costs and fees, along with their impact, I suspect, might suggest an entirely different outcome to excessive fee cases such as Hecker, and it would not surprise me if at least some other courts in the future engage in such a closer examination and come to a different conclusion as a result. |
