To amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and title 5, United States Code, to require plans to establish policies addressing firm-specific risks in asset management services, greater diversification in investment strategies, and the inclusion of diverse asset managers and minority brokerage firms, and for other purposes.
American Pension Investments Modernization Act of 2014 - Amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to require the fiduciary of an employee benefit plan to establish policies for appointment of an investment manager or managers to manage any plan assets or business enterprise or enterprises for brokerage and investment banking services.
Requires the fiduciary, under these policies, to consider:
Defines "diverse asset manager" as a minority business enterprise that manages an investment portfolio of between $100 million and $25 billion.
Directs the Secretary of Labor to issue related guidance and requires the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) to take this guidance into account.
Directs the FRTIB to give current and former federal employees and Members of Congress in FERS the option to participate in actively managed funds within the employee's or Member's Thrift Savings Fund account (but no more than 20% of a current or former employee's or Member's funds).
Prohibits the FRTIB from subjecting more than 20% of the total assets under management of the Thrift Savings Fund to active management.
