John Hancock Dodges ERISA Class Action
The Lowenbaum Partnership and FRA PlanTools Link to more items from this source
Sept. 30, 2014
"The cases are holding with few exceptions that the functional fiduciary test under 3(21)(A)(i) must show that the fiduciary actually exercised their discretion. In decisions in favor of AUL and John Hancock, the plaintiffs were unable to show that. In decisions against Transamerica, MassMutual, and ING, the plaintiffs were able to either show the exercise of discretion or that it was a issue of fact for trial.... The open question from these cases is whether 3(21)(A)(iii) requires the actor to actually exercise their discretion or not, i.e. it's a fiduciary breach to be both malfeasant and nonfeasant."
