The Securities Industry Association (SIA)* provides comments to the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration of theU.S. Department of Labor (DOL)to express our concern over a recently formed enforcement initiative focusing on employer-sponsored retirement plan expenses. SIA believes certain DOL regional offices are taking a position of the so-called “settlor expenses” that conflicts with Sections 403 and 404 of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act (ERISA).
