Revenue Sharing on Trial: Complex, Inefficient and Unnecessarily Expensive
Morningstar [Opinion] May 3, 2012
"The basic problem with revenue-sharing is that it is an inefficient and opaque way to compensate service providers. Its needless complexity leaves many plan sponsors unable to line up costs with the value of services so that they can prudently fulfill their fiduciary duty to determine the reasonableness of costs. In this way, revenue-sharing is like any other third-party payer system. In cases such as Tussey, revenue-sharing costs incurred by plan participants went unnoticed by the plan sponsor and therefore remained unknown, harming plan participants while generating [what a court called] 'unreasonable' profit for Fidelity."
