Pension Governance, LLC
Sept. 22, 2008
14 pages. Excerpt: I concur with others who assert that additional regulation would be redundant and arguably counterproductive. For one thing, empirical evidence suggests that a 'one size fits all' mandate could induce perverse outcomes. Plan sponsors may get overly scared about investing in 'hard to value assets' and ignore them altogether rather than conducting a thorough analysis as to their suitability. I don't believe it is the current intent of any regulator to have plan fiduciaries automatically shrink the universe of possible product and/or strategies.

"Unlike publicly traded funds, data about alternative investment funds is not always readily available nor easy to interpret.... Financial advisors can help retirement plan participants navigate the brave new world of customized alternatives by doing a deep dive into what's available and how they compare with traditional bonds, cash, and stock. This is easier said than done. New products won't have a long track record. Performance metrics will differ."

"The rate of change and the materiality of any changes should logically influence the frequency, duration and specificity of investment committee meetings and whether other groups such as Human Resources, Legal and Operations should be involved. Similarly, the frequency of issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to potentially hire a new vendor is a function of what is happening with a plan and its sponsor. Tumult in the investment environment is another consideration."

According to 'Rewriting Pension History' by Michael Rapoport (Wall Street Journal, March 9, 2011,[)] several large multinational corporations are changing the way they report retirement plan numbers. The goal is to stop smoothing losses and gains and instead have current year earnings reflect the full extent of what is owed (or available as a surplus).

While a well drafted, reviewed and understood service agreement can help preclude errors and claims, the service agreement is also the primary defense against liability caused by service provider mistakes and negligence. In spite of this important role, many plan sponsors - particularly small plan sponsors - sign standard service agreements without adequate review or counsel.
