Prioritizing Financial Returns in Retirement Investments
This law clarifies that those managing your retirement savings (like 401(k)s) must choose investments based solely on financial factors that affect risk and return. This ensures your retirement money is focused on maximizing growth. Non-financial factors can only be considered if investments are otherwise identical, and only with full documentation explaining why the choice benefits your financial future.
Key points
Retirement fund managers must prioritize financial factors (risk and return) when selecting investments for your savings.
Non-financial considerations (like social or environmental goals) can only be used if investments are financially indistinguishable.
If non-financial factors are used, managers must provide detailed documentation proving the choice is consistent with maximizing your retirement income.
