Under the DOL regulation, many advisors to
retirement plans and their participants will be
3(21) fiduciaries. They will act alongside other
fiduciary service providers who are also not
necessarily named in the plan document but who
exercise discretionary control over plan provisions
or plan investments.
The advisor should educate the
,plan sponsor about hiring fiduciary service
providers, including the different roles service
providers, including the different roles service
providers may take on within the plan, how to select
a qualified candidate, and the plan sponsor's
ongoing responsibility to monitor them.
The fiduciary definition has two parts:
who is a fiduciary
to what extent the person is a fiduciary
Clarifying fiduciary status is arguably incomplete
without addressing both.
,A best practice for a service provider's formal
description of services might therefore include two
parts:
a. an acknowledgment of fiduciary status
b. clarification as to the extent of responsibilities
As a non-fiduciary advisor, you can
educate your client and present possible
investments for the Retirement Plan Committee
consideration.
If you recommend a specific fund replacement to
the plan sponsor or plan participants, you are

functional fiduciary to the plan.
, If fiduciaries of participants use your
recommendations - as opposed to information - to
make investment decisions, this could be
considered
a fiduciary act
As a non-fiduciary advisor, you can meet with your
client on a recurring basis (quarterly, annually, etc) if
providing
general investment reports or discussing the
appropriateness of the investments to the plan
without making specific investment suggestions.
Plan fiduciaries will almost always have to hire
