In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about Field Assistance Bulletin 2012-02R, focusing on participant-directed accounts and disclosure regulations (404(a)-5). Eric points out some details that are not commonly understood by many advisors and plan fiduciaries. He emphasizes the need for clear, understandable fee disclosures to participants, particularly those using revenue share or per capita fees. Eric highlights that fees must be expressed in terms a typical participant can understand. He provides examples from the bulletin, such as explaining legal expenses and record-keeping costs. Eric advises plan sponsors and advisors to collaborate and consult legal counsel to ensure compliance with these disclosure requirements.
