Nationwide Financial Expands Fiduciary Offerings

Under section 3(38) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), an investment manager is given authority to direct and monitor investment options for a retirement plan. This new Nationwide service, if selected, enables the plan sponsor to transfer the responsibility and legal liabilities associated with the selection and monitoring of plan investment options to IRON Financial, which offers fully independent fiduciary services as a component of its retirement plan platform. Unlike the 3(21) solutions offered by many providers, this comprehensive 3(38) investment fiduciary service provides plan sponsors with relief from investment liability.

“Investment selection and the ongoing due diligence are important, and often intimidating, fiduciary responsibilities for a plan sponsor,” said Anne Arvia , senior vice president of Retirement Plans for Nationwide Financial. “We’re excited to offer this new service, and feel it’s a great addition to our comprehensive lineup of fiduciary tools and services.”

The new service also provides timely support to financial professionals as the industry prepares for new regulations regarding the definition of a fiduciary. The new regulations once enacted will require financial advisors to disclose whether they act as a fiduciary and, if so, in what capacity.

“Our new 3(38) investment manager service will provide financial professionals with more flexibility in addressing key aspects of the new federal regulations,” said Arvia. “It also reduces the time commitment required by plan sponsors to meet their fiduciary obligations, allowing them to focus more time on running their business.
