Dynamic Media Platform Launches 401k Specialist Publication

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Investment Weekly News -- 401(k) accounts contain nearly $4.6 trillion in assets, doubling in size over the past 10 years and making it the premier savings vehicle for most Americans.1 Additionally, rollovers from 401(k) accounts to individual retirement accounts (IRA) are expected to top $450 billion per year by 2017.2 As a result, the opportunity to provide quality retirement plan advice has never been greater, but so are the threats. Increasing regulation, volatile markets, the fiduciary question and, of course, litigation are combining in a perfect storm of confusion and complexity at the exact moment when the largest demographic in the history of the world is headed for retirement.

Where should retirement plan advisors turn to get the information and answers they need to assist the retirement plan sponsors and participants they serve? How do they protect themselves and their business from the tort lawyers that are sure to come?

Introducing 401(k) Specialist, a new, first-of-its-kind publication and digital platform.

With a tagline of "Fiduciary/Rollovers/Client Acquisition/Practice/Investments," 401(k) Specialist will cover the hot-button 401(k) issues facing the industry, and provide research and examination of the larger coming trends.

"From a demographic, legal, economic and regulatory standpoint, the stars have aligned for a dedicated platform to specifically address the issues with which retirement plan advisors grapple," said Laura Fallbach, publisher of 401(k) Specialist.
