“Funds, Fees, & Forfeitures…Fiduciary Litigation Continues”

Plan Sponsor Magazine August 2024

According to a recent article from Brach and Eichler LLC, from 2019 through mid-2022, more than 200 class action lawsuits were filed against 401(k) plans, fiduciaries and plan sponsors. Companies spent more than $150 million to settle those lawsuits

Historically, most 401(k) lawsuits have targeted high recordkeeping/administrative fees and poor investment performance.

Over the past several years, they now seem to be targeting a wider range of areas.

Managed accounts, Target-date funds, proprietary fund

usage and forfeiture usage have all been named in recent lawsuits

We expect lawsuits to continue at a high pace over the next several years.
