"[This] seemed like a good time to ask some critical questions to both plaintiffs' and defendants' attorneys.... [1] Whether there has been any value to ERISA litigation ... [2] What harm has it caused? [3] Whether you have evidence it is being funded by PE/VC firms. [4] What effect will the new EBSA director ... have? [5] Do you agree with him that we should have a special ERISA court, like with patents, because it is so technical? [6] What effect will recent SCOTUS decisions like Chevron et al. have? ...

"Several macro trends are forcing defined contribution record keepers and advisors to significantly change their business models, with the most prevalent being the decline of plan fees while the costs of technology and service rise. Unless they adapt moving ... from a 'product' to 'participant' centric model, they face heavy headwinds, unlikely to compete with scaled providers with unique distribution models, with proprietary investments and the ability to cross-sell to participants."
