The authors of our recent Legal Update provide an overview of the SEC's (Securities and Exchange Commission) recently adopted rule, which prohibits conflicts of interest in certain securitizations as required under the Dodd-Frank Act. Although not perfect, the final rule is a significant improvement over the proposal. However, all securitization participants will need to assess their securitization programs and implement various compliance programs before the final rule becomes effective on June 9, 2025. Please join Mayer Brown lawyers Stuart Litwin, Christopher Horn and Michelle Stasny as they discuss the recently adopted rule.

Kristi Leo, president of the Structured Finance Association (SFA), returns to speak with host Patrick Dolan about the SEC's proposed conflict of interest rule. The rule would prohibit securitization participants from engaging in transactions that could incentivize a participant to structure an asset-backed security to put their interests ahead of other investors.We discuss SFA's proposed revisions to the rule, including changes to several definitions such as “conflicted transaction” and “synthetic asset-backed security,” carve outs to the definition of “sponsor”, additional guidance to help clarify the more ambiguous provisions and more.

Please join us as the authors of our recent Legal Update provide an overview of the SEC's (Securities and Exchange Commission) recently proposed rule to prohibit conflicts of interest in certain securitizations as required under the Dodd-Frank Act. A re-proposal of a 2011 proposed rule, the re-proposal shares some of the same issues and concerns and may be even worse in some respects. If adopted as re-proposed, the rule's prohibition would have profound consequences for securitization markets.

Episode Summary If you have been involved in working with retirement benefit plans over the last several years, you have probably been told more times than you can remember that your 401(k) plan comes with fiduciary responsibility.  You also have likely noticed the proliferation of 401(k) lawsuits, and that the DOL has released their new Conflict of Interest rule which redefines how one can become a fiduciary.  With all of this going on, and the questions that have ensued, I thought it would be a good time to have Blaine AIkin, the Executive Chairman of Fi360, help provide some clarity.  Fi360 is the industry leader in providing fiduciary education and training to individuals and organizations in the financial services industry to develop prudent fiduciary practices and promote a fiduciary standard of care.  Our conversation covers how employers can use fiduciary safe harbors to limit their fiduciary liability, the importance of having your fiduciary processes nailed and things to do and not to do as a plan fiduciary.  Blaine also has some great quotes in the episode such as, there is nothing passive about being a retirement plan fiduciary, you have the fiduciary obligation to not waste money and with the new DOL Conflict of Interest Rule, a non-fiduciary advisor is now a contradiction in terms.  Last but not least, I am excited to announce that this and other episodes of the podcast have been submitted for HR recertification credits.  To see episodes that are pre-approved or have been submitted for approval please go to www.401kfridays.com/CE.

Episode Summary The new DOL Conflict of Interest Rule, what is also being referred to as the new DOL Fiduciary Rule, has introduced changes that some are calling the most significant since the introduction of ERISA over 40 years ago.  While the rule will have a phased effective date beginning in April 2017, there are multiple items employers should begin exploring now. As usual, Sam does a great job of extracting specific elements of the 1100 page rule that employers should be aware of and provides questions to ask today along with specific next steps.   Guest Bio Sam Henson, is a Vice President and Director of Legislative & Regulatory Affairs for Lockton Retirement Services.  Sam also brings a unique perspective to our discussion today as prior to joining Lockton, he spent almost 10 years with the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), where he conducted more than 150 civil and criminal investigations of employee retirement and benefits plans, service providers, and fiduciaries.  He capped off his career at the DOL as the 2011 recipient of the Secretary of Labor’s Exceptional Achievement Award.  Needless to say, we are glad we have Sam on our side now and he is not out there banging down the doors of employers any more! 401(k) Fridays Podcast Overview Offers companies of all sizes free strategic, educational and actionable content to improve  their retirement plans.  My name is Rick Unser and I am your host.  All episodes leverage my nearly two decades of experience working with employers to bring you candid interviews with industry experts to enhance Fiduciary Protection, streamline Plan Operations and improve employee Retirement Readiness.   For more information please visit www.401kfridays.com
