Listen as NEPC’s Mikaylee O’Connor and former Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), Lisa Gomez, for an insider’s discussion on the rapidly evolving defined contribution fiduciary and regulatory landscape.
Drawing on her experience leading the agency responsible for overseeing ERISA-covered retirement plans during a period of significant regulatory and enforcement activity, Lisa provides unique perspective on recent DOL policy developments, the proposed rule on fiduciary selection of designated investment alternatives, and what current shifts in Washington may mean for large plan sponsors navigating fiduciary risk, governance, and participant outcomes.
This conversation moves beyond headlines and technical summaries to explore the practical realities facing fiduciaries today, including how plan sponsors should think about process and risk management in the current environment, and what issues may shape the next phase of DC plan oversight and innovation.
