Kutak Rock partner John Schembari will discuss a rule proposed by the Department of Labor (DOL) in a presentation titled “Beyond Investments: What DOL’s Proposed Rule Means for Health & Welfare Fiduciaries.” The presentation will examine the DOL’s new “safe harbor” applicable to investment selection in 401(k) plans and how this will provide a framework for health and welfare fiduciaries. He will also provide a unique opportunity for brokers to establish themselves as trusted advisors to health and welfare plan decision makers.

John will give this presentation at the United Benefit Advisors Spring Conference on May 19.
