Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Physicians who sponsor 401(k) plans for their employees must protect themselves from allegations of fiduciary breach related to investment losses or fund mismanagement. Selecting an independent fiduciary to assume legal responsibility for selecting, monitoring, and replacing plan investment options provides support, transparency, and protection from legal exposure. Physicians who select an independent fiduciary for their practice's 401(k) plans continue to administer the fund, but limit their legal liability and ensure that investment recommendations come with full accountability. This article explains the role of independent fiduciaries and their importance in medical practice management.
