Supreme Court Rules Plan Fiduciaries Owe a Fiduciary Duty to Periodically Review Plan Investments

Posted: June 1, 2015 | Littler Category: Benefits - Fiduciary

In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court in Tibble v. Edison International held that plan fiduciaries owe an ongoing duty to review plan investments periodically to ensure compliance with their obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). In doing so, the Court reversed the Ninth Circuit’s holding that the statute of limitations for challenges to the continued offering of an investment option begins running only at the time the investment option is selected by an ERISA plan fiduciary (absent a change in circumstances), but stopped short of defining any specific obligations apart from a “continuing duty to monitor investments and remove imprudent ones.”1 The decision reinforces the importance of maintaining and documenting a formal program for review of all investment options under an individual account plan.
