FF5 #96 - An Update - Private Assets in DC Plans

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the Department of Labor's (DOL) proposed rule on private assets like private equity, credit, and real estate in defined contribution plans. The rule, expected for public comment very soon, will likely emphasize the fiduciary process for selecting and monitoring investments rather than setting specific asset allocation caps. Dyson highlights the importance of liquidity, valuation, and fee transparency in managing private assets. He suggests that committees and advisors should develop a clear evaluation framework, document decision-making processes, and align these with appropriate experts. 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 circumstances 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.The opinions expressed by guests on the Be More Than a Fiduciary podcast are not necessarily the same as the opinions held by 90 North Consulting, or of Executive Director Eric Dyson.
