To amend the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to specify that only pecuniary factors are to be taken into account in determining best interest, and for other purposes.
Ensuring Sound Guidance Act
This bill generally requires investment advisors and fiduciaries of employer-sponsored retirement plans to make investment decisions based only on pecuniary factors (i.e., factors that a fiduciary prudently determines are expected to have a material effect on the risk and return of an investment based on appropriate investment horizons consistent with the plan's policies and objectives).
The bill allows nonpecuniary factors to be considered in certain situations, such as when a customer specifically requests that these factors be considered or when selecting investment options for certain participant-directed retirement plans.
