FF5 #94 - Which Hat Are You Wearing?

In this episode of Friday Fiduciary Five, Eric Dyson talks about the importance of understanding different fiduciary roles, particularly for ERISA plan committee members. He emphasizes the duty of loyalty, which requires acting exclusively in the best interest of plan participants, and the duty of prudence, which involves conducting oneself like an expert. Eric shares an example of a CFO recognizing the need to put the plan's interests above personal preferences. He also stresses that all committee members, regardless of their position, should have equal weight in fiduciary decisions and that personal interests should be set aside for the benefit of the plan participants.
