Overview

This course provides an introduction to the basics of ERISA fiduciary law using a case study vehicle. At this year’s program, you will learn about the principal issues in ERISA’s regulation of plan investments through a case study of a hypothetical plan asset hedge fund exploring entry in the plan marketplace and a plan investor considering such an alternative investment. The program will also utilize a hypothetical fiduciary training session to provide an introduction to the core ERISA fiduciary issues applicable to defined contribution plans. The final session on ethical considerations relating to ERISA plans adopts a similar interactive approach.
