EBSA Moving Forward with Rules to Protect Retirement Savings
Tuesday, January 24, 2012

The Employee Benefits Security Administration is moving forward with regulations and proposals that will increase the quality of advice being provided to individual retirement account investors and 401(k) plan sponsors and participants. Assistant Secretary of Labor Phyllis C. Borzi delivered this message to the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries last week during the group's Los Angeles Benefits Conference. A final rule requiring financial services firms to disclose fees to retirement plan sponsors will be out soon, and EBSA is working toward re-proposing a separate rule that would re-define who is a fiduciary for the purposes of giving advice to retirement savers. These rules combined with other regulatory efforts will help ensure that employers and workers are able to make informed decisions and obtain the best possible advice when choosing how they save.
