Nevin & Fred

Season 4, Episode 12: Forfeitures, Meeting Minutes & More


Listen Later

In a “live” version of the Nevin & Fred podcast at the

Strategic Retirement Partners (SRP) annual conference, Nevin & Fred (& Bonnie Treichel & Tom Clark) covered recent litigation trends—and more!

In recent months, the plaintiffs’ bar has “discovered” a new litigation target:  the use of forfeitures to offset employer contributions, rather than to offset plan fees

or to reallocate them to the remaining participants in the plan.  The expanded expert podcast panel reviews the
current status, the trend(s), and what plan fiduciaries can/should do about it.

And—on a related topic—what should/shouldn’t be included in committee meeting minutes!
