On June 21, 2018, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the requirements of the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Conflict of Interest Rule;more commonly referred to as the "DOL Fiduciary Rule;" thus killing the rule entirely. Despite this news, the death of the DOL Fiduciary Rule does not alleviate a plan sponsor from being a fiduciary when sponsoring an ERISA-covered retirement plan, such as a 401(k).
