Tibble versus Edison case is the focus of this video interview with Jerry Schlichter, which explores the case’s impact on 401(k) plans and fiduciary duties. Schlichter argues that fears about the “sky falling” due to increased duties to monitor plans are unfounded, pointing out that similar predictions have been made in the past without materializing. He believes that the new fiduciary rules will ultimately benefit both advisors and plan participants, as they will lead to better advice and more serious consideration of participants’ interests.
Schlichter also discusses his personal motivations for pursuing these cases, noting his blue-collar background and his desire to protect individuals who may not fully understand their retirement plans. He emphasizes that his work aligns with his values, aiming to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives, beyond just financial gain.
