LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockton Investment Advisors, LLC and Chubb Group of Insurance Companies are sponsoring a seminar about 401(k) risk management strategies from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on November 18 at the Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles. Designed exclusively for retirement plan fiduciaries which are often times CEOs, CFOs, and/or HR professionals. The seminar features a panel of financial, insurance, and legal experts who will demonstrate ways companies can protect against 401(k) related lawsuits through real case studies with practical applications.
"With companies being hit by a barrage of class action lawsuits from retirement plan participants, it's important for retirement plan sponsors to take proactive steps to protect themselves against litigation," says ERISA Risk Management Consultant Rick Unser of Lockton Retirement Services. Unser cites the class action lawsuits against General Dynamics and California utility Edison International as two recent examples of litigation brought by retirement plan participants over various 401(k) fee and management issues.
The panel of experts which includes Jessica Skinner, Compliance Attorney, Lockton Companies; John Fisher, Fiduciary Liability Claims Specialist, Chubb Specialty Insurance; and Sherrie Boutwell, ERISA Attorney, Boutwell & Fay LLP, will address:
Top liability exposures in retirement plans
Combining insurance coverage and fiduciary governance strategies to reduce risk
Coverage expectations for Fiduciary and Directors & Officers insurance policies
Best practices in fiduciary risk management strategies
Current and future trends in the qualified retirement plan marketplace
"The information will be invaluable to anyone involved in the fiduciary oversight of their company's retirement plans," adds Unser.
