Whoomp, There It Is! The New Prudent Fee Fiduciary Standard
The Prudent Investment Adviser Rules Link to more items from this source
Dec. 18, 2014

"[The] United States District Court for Southern District of New York provided the long-anticipated introduction, or more specifically the judicial verification, of Vanguard's funds' fees as a comparative basis for assessing excessive of fund fees was established. While the case is not binding on other courts, the rationale used by the court is persuasive and will undoubtedly be referenced by plaintiffs' attorneys in both 401(k) and other cases where breach of fiduciary issues involving fee issues are involved.... More importantly, the court's decision provides further support for the relevance of intrinsic costs and returns in analyzing both investment recommendations made by financial advisors and investment options offered by 401(k) plans and other retirement plans." [Leber v. The Citigroup 401(k) Plan Investment Committee, No. 07-CV-9329 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2014)]
