Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years there has been a shift in the types of pension plans employers are offering employees. Employers are increasingly moving away from traditional defined benefit plans to the 401(k). Specific info. about the plan & plan options becomes more relevant than under defined benefit plans because participants are responsible for ensuring that they have adequate income at retirement. While info. on historical performance & investment risk for each plan option are important for participants to understand, so too is info. on fees because fees can significantly decrease participants¿ retirement savings over the course of a career. This testimony focuses on: trends in the use of 401(k) plans; & the types of fees assoc. with these plans. Illus.

Book excerpt: American workers increasingly rely on 401(k) plans for their retirement security, and sponsors of 401(k) plans -- typically employers -- have critical obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). When acting as fiduciaries, they must act prudently and solely in the interest of plan participants and beneficiaries. This report examined: (1) common 401(k) plan features, which typically have important fiduciary implications, and factors affecting these decisions; (2) challenges sponsors face in fulfilling their fiduciary obligations when overseeing plan operations; and (3) actions labor takes to ensure that sponsors fulfill their fiduciary obligations, and the progress the Dept. of Labor has made on its regulatory initiatives.

Book excerpt: American workers increasingly rely on defined contribution (DC) plans like 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts (IRA) for retirement income. Together with other DC plans -- 401(a), 403(b), and 457 plans -- these accounts hold about $7.1 trillion.

This report examined: (1) the types of fees charged to participants and invest. of various DC plans; (2) how DC plan sponsor actions affect participant fees; (3) how fee disclosure requirements vary; and (4) the effectiveness of DC plan oversight.

Book excerpt: American workers are increasingly relying on 401(k) plans, which allow pre-tax contributions to individual accounts, for their retirement income. As workers accrue earnings on their investments, they also pay a number of fees that may significantly decrease their retirement savings. Because of concerns about the effects of fees on participants' retirement savings, GAO examined (1) the types of fees associated with 401(k) plans and who pays these fees, (2) how information on fees is disclosed to plan participants, and (3) how the Department of Labor (Labor) oversees plan fees and certain business arrangements. GAO reviewed industry surveys on fees and interviewed Labor officials and pension professionals about disclosure and reporting practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saving for retirement is a difficult task, especially during these challenging economic times. Individuals who participate in their retirement plans are being charged billions in fees annually—and no one is looking out for their best interests—even though the laws say both plan sponsors and employers should be held responsible for acting in their employees’ best interests. The fact is that unless individuals are willing to stand-up and secure their financial future, they’re likely to face less money in their retirement plan accounts and have to work longer to accumulate the funds they need for retirement. In Stop the Retirement Rip-off, author David Loeper provides the necessary tools for readers to take action and make the most of their retirement plans. It offers a road map for employees to understand the fees and costs associated with their plans; as well as improve their standing within their company by proactively helping their employer to take needed action. The book features a non confrontational positive approach to bringing your retirement plan problems to the attention of your employer. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, Stop the Retirement Rip-off provides readers with sensible strategies for making the most of their retirement funds, and will put them back in control of their financial future.
