With the January 1 compliance deadline quickly approaching, employers need to prepare now for revolutionary change in what was once a relatively quiet corner of the retirement marketplace. Plan sponsors, benefits practitioners, and investment vendors will soon be required to implement heightened fiduciary standards, more stringent document requirements, and changes to current recordkeeping and reporting practices. Join us for a review of the following important topics:

  • Vendor Consolidation: Issues, Challenges, Benefits
