FF5 #55 - The 80/20 Rule for ERISA Plans

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, in the context of ERISA plans. He explains that 70-80% of assets and contributions are in target date funds, yet much time is spent evaluating the core lineup. Eric emphasizes the need to focus on the 20% of issues that drive 80% of outcomes, particularly in target date funds and managed accounts. He suggests that committees should prioritize evaluating these key areas to improve participant outcomes, and a reminder that the primary driver of retirement success is the amount contributed to the plan.Connect with Eric Dyson: Website: https://90northllc.com/Phone: 940-248-4800Email: [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/401kguy/ The information contained herein is general in nature and is provided solely for educational and informational purposes.It is not intended to provide a specific recommendation of any type of product or service discussed in this presentation or to provide any warranties, financial advice or legal advice.The specific facts and circumstance of all qualified plans can vary and the information contained in this podcast may or may not apply to your individual circumstances or to your plan or client plan specific circumstances.
