Retirement Investment Enhancements for 403(b) Plans in Non-Profits and Schools
This Act aims to enhance 403(b) retirement plans, commonly used by employees of schools, hospitals, and non-profit organizations, by amending federal securities laws. The changes are designed to provide greater access to collective investment funds, potentially lowering costs and improving investment returns for retirement savers. Employers offering these plans must agree to serve as fiduciaries or approve investment selections, increasing participant protection.
Key points
Increased flexibility for 403(b) plans to utilize collective trust funds, potentially leading to lower administrative costs and better investment options for participants.
New requirement for employers (or fiduciaries) to review and approve investment selections offered in 403(b) plans, enhancing oversight and financial security for employees.
The legislation primarily benefits employees in the non-profit, educational, and charitable sectors who rely on 403(b) retirement savings.
