Any organization that sponsors a retirement plan qualified under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), or any retirement plan sponsored by a municipal or state government for public employees, is eagerly embraced within IFLC's pension plan community.
Benefits to Members
 ERISA Fee Disclosure Compliance Standard
IFLC's members have access to the ERISA Fees and Conflicts Standard. Developed by a task force of stakeholders in the ERISA community, the Standard provides IFLC's members with specific steps to use for complying with the Department of Labor's Regulation 408(b)(2). The Regulation is effective in 2011 and requires that plan sponsors prove the fees their employees pay for pension services are "reasonable."
The Online Pension Fiduciary Link
Members may participate as frequently as daily in a Web-enabled content rich network that fosters interaction with their peers. The Pension Fiduciary Link is a great way to find out how other members solve common fiduciary issues. It is member driven with message postings that contain subject matter drawn from a pension plan sponsor's perspective. It fosters community and enhances competency. Pension plans of all sizes benefit from this practical on demand tool.

Ever wonder how service providers such as investment firms, third party administrators, custodians, and trustees that serve pension plans stack up against authentic fiduciary support standards?
