Is there an upside to all of the hassle associated with new fee disclosures? At the participant level, it may lead to a more interactive dialog with advisors.
For those of us who are currently employed, the answer may be as easy as learning more about our employers retirement plan(s), including several tax breaks Uncle Sam affords.
Still searching for clarity on fee disclosure rules and deadlines? Here's a primer to the important dates, and what needs to be done.
