Howard Pianko, Ian Morrison, and Hannah Widlus will be discussing proactive strategies to minimize exposure for investment losses during a live teleconference.

In today’s financial crisis, ERISA fiduciaries are under close scrutiny due to plummeting retirement plans exposing investment risks.

  • Impact of economic crisis on retirement plan fiduciaries
  • Common investment approaches for retirement plans — benefits and risks
  • Stable value funds
  • Target-date funds
  • Liability driven investing
  • Alternative investments

  • Ensure compliance with oversight procedures
  • Provide consistent and careful oversight of plans
  • Procedures for selecting and monitoring investment options
