Breach of Fiduciary Duty->Liability->Damages->Expert Testimony and Reports


Are you a trustee, ERISA pension plan or 401k plan sponsor?  Or a trustee of non-profit organization, foundation or endowment?  Fiduciary management of assets in trust rests on your shoulders, with personal responsibility.  The 2006 Pension Protection Act requires an audit by a Qualified Fiduciary Expert when ERISA 401k Plan Sponsors choose a Qualified Fiduciary Adviser to provide investment advice to participants or use a computer asset allocation model.  A Prudent fiduciary governance process selects, monitors, certifies and audits the computer model.  Fiduciary training of Trustees and ERISA Plan Sponsors can improve performance, meet fiduciary responsibilities and protect against breach of fiduciary duty.

 

Are you a trust beneficiary, participant or beneficiary of a participant in an ERISA pension benefit, 401k plan, a financial supporter of a non-profit?  Poor performance, Ponzi schemes, losses may be addressed by an Accredited Investment Fiduciary Analyst(TM) who can help trace the causes.

 

Expert Witness litigation support for matters in Trust, Estate and Probate; ERISA pension, profit sharing and 401k plans; FINRA NASD arbitration and State and Federal Regulatory, SEC and NYSE investigations and disputes involving trustees at 501 c-3 Non-profit organizations, Foundations & Endowments; even certain family law issues. 

 

Fiduciary responsibility cannot be delegated away even if a trustee hires a bank, trust company, stock broker or investment adviser.

 

What is the main purpose of an Investment Policy Statement?  An investment policy statement catalyzes the purposes, terms and interests of beneficiaries of the trust, pension plan or 401k to the investment regime.  The IPS is like a blueprint and lays out an oversight process.  An investment policy statement should list all fiduciaries, functions and monitoring procedures.
