The coming tax cuts provide a rare one-time opportunity for workers to save more for retirement without suffering from lower take-home pay -- plan sponsors and HR might want to help them see that.
For someone covering fiduciary news exclusively, at first it seemed the state of the DOLs fiduciary rule should have been the top story. Then I saw what was and I understood.
Old Aesop really hit the nail on the head with his fable about Rabbit and Hare. It only makes sense that it also offers insight into investment strategies. What you may not realize is that it applies equally well to savings strategies.
The House tax reform bill cracks open the door -- now Congress needs to take the next step to swing it wide open for the 401(k) MEP.
