Compliance with section 404(c) of ERISA is optional. The cornerstone of section 404(c) is participant control. To demonstrate participant control, you must afford your participants at least three investment options, investments with different risk and return characteristics, at least quarterly switching and sufficient information. Should you choose to comply with the regulations, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney can help. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney does not provide Legal advice regarding compliance with ERISA section 404(c) or any other matter.
