Don't Get Sued! Lessons to be Learned From the Land 0' Lakes 401(k) Excessive Fee Suit
ATTENTION 401(k) Committee Members and Investment Fiduciaries – a recent Class Action Complaint that retirement plan committee members should be aware of.
On May 26, 2020, a Class Action Complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota against Land O’Lakes, Inc., the Board of Directors of Land O’Lakes, Inc., Land O’Lakes, Inc. Retirement Plan Committee, and John Does.
The allegations involved should be of significant interest to all committee members and investment fiduciaries. These include:
“Defendants’ mismanagement of the Plan, to the detriment of participants and beneficiaries, constitutes a breach of the fiduciary duties of prudence and loyalty, in violation of 29 U.S.C. § 1104. Their actions were contrary to actions of a reasonable fiduciary and cost the Plan and its participants millions of dollars.”
Based on this conduct, Plaintiffs assert claims against Defendants for breach of the fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence (Count One) and failure to monitor fiduciaries (Count Two).
This webinar will provide actionable steps that investment fiduciaries can take to defend themselves from similar actions. The discussion will not only review components of this case but answer specific questions regarding appropriate fiduciary behavior and actions that can be taken by committees to thwart claims similar to the Land O’Lakes Complaint.
