ERISA, the federal law that governs retirement plans, recognizes the importance of being entrusted with the retirement assets of employees. Accordingly, ERISA requires Plan Trustees to act as fiduciaries, that is, to always act in the best interest of Plan Participants. Additionally, unlike many corporate duties, Plan Trustees can be personally liable for imprudent plan decisions, and most corporate insurance excludes these decisions from coverage.
​
ERISA requires Plan Trustees use a prudent process for making retirement plan decisions. Plan Trustees can protect themselves by using a prudent process, but it is also essential to document those processes and plan decisions in writing. Failure to document important processes and decisions exposes Plan Trustees to avoidable legal risks.
