Breach of Fiduciary Duty->Liability->Damages->Expert Testimony and Reports

Are you a trustee, ERISA pension plan or 401k plan sponsor? Or a trustee of non-profit organization, foundation or endowment? Fiduciary management of assets in trust rests on your shoulders, with personal responsibility. The 2006 Pension Protection Act requires an audit by a Qualified Fiduciary Expert when ERISA 401k Plan Sponsors choose a Qualified Fiduciary Adviser to provide investment advice to participants or use a computer asset allocation model. A Prudent fiduciary governance process selects, monitors, certifies and audits the computer model. Fiduciary training of Trustees and ERISA Plan Sponsors can improve performance, meet fiduciary responsibilities and protect against breach of fiduciary duty.

Are you a trust beneficiary, participant or beneficiary of a participant in an ERISA, Taft Hartley Act, or Public (State, county or local) pension benefit, 401k, 403b or 457 plan or a financial supporter of a non-profit? Losses or sub par, poor performance, Ponzi schemes may gain insights from McFid, the fiduciary expert.
