Allocation of fiduciary responsibility and soft dollar and recapture arrangements

Article Abstract:

ERISA permits pension plan fiduciaries to delegate some fiduciary duties but the fiduciaries may still retain certain supervisory responsibilities, including possible exposure to co-fiduciary liability. Such liability may be limited by delegation to plan participants or their beneficiaries of responsibility for deciding on investments. Circumstances under which such delegation can take place are summarized.
