Investments and the Plan Menu

Who is responsible for choosing the plan's investment options?

By default, the plan sponsor and any investment committee are responsible for selecting and monitoring the plan's investment menu, and that is a fiduciary act. Many sponsors engage an investment advisor to help, either in a 3(21) advisory role or by delegating the decisions to a 3(38) investment manager. Even when help is engaged, the sponsor retains a duty to oversee whoever performs the work.
