- Excerpt from Class Action Fee Litigation Continues to Plague Plan Sponsors:

Class action law suits alleging the improper payment of allegedly excessive administrative fees by 401(k) plans have plagued large companies for years. These cases allege that the plan fiduciaries failed to properly evaluate their plan’s expenses and pay only reasonable fees. Many of these cases are coupled with additional allegations, such as failing to prudently select and monitor the plan’s investment options and mismanagement of company stock funds.
