Fiduciary Liability

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 was designed to protect the rights of private pension plan participants. Fiduciaries of all employee benefits plans, including welfare plans and pension plans, assumed new responsibilities relating to the management and administration of benefits plans. Under the law, a fiduciary can be held personally responsible for shortages in the benefit plan's assets resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty, such as improper investment of funds.

What Fiduciary Liability protects:

>

Fiduciary liability protects welfare and pension plans, the sponsor organization, and individuals acting as fiduciaries or administrators of the plans

>

The policy covers liability arising out of violations of any of the responsibilities, obligations, or duties imposed upon fiduciaries by ERISA

>

Also covered is liability arising out of such activities as:

> Counselling employees with respect to welfare & pension plans
> Providing interpretations of the plans
> Handling records or administering enrolment
> Termination or cancellation of employees under the plans
