FAQ

Although ERISA generally exempts mutual fund organizations from classification as fiduciaries, parties in interest or disqualified per- sons, the mutual fund industry has identified five situations that may fall outside the scope of the statutory exemptions.

Under ERISA, each fund is subject to additional requirements and obligations once more than 25 percent of the fund's assets under management (AUM) are subject to ERISA (the 25 percent threshold).

The rule is triggered if you raise enough dollars through retirement accounts. Generally speaking, it is wise to stay below 25% of retirement plan assets unless you qualify for an exception. For "fund of funds", the fund acts as an ERISA investor.

ERISA requires plans to provide participants with plan information including important information about plan features and funding; provides fiduciary responsibilities for those who manage and control plan assets; requires plans to establish a grievance and appeals process for participants to get benefits from their ...

The plan asset regulation describes circumstances in which there is a “look through,” which, if applicable, treats not only the interests in an investment fund owned by ERISA covered plans as “plan assets,” but also the assets of the investment fund as “plan assets.” If the look through applies, the ERISA fiduciary and ...

The rule is triggered if you raise enough dollars through retirement accounts. Generally speaking, it is wise to stay below 25% of retirement plan assets unless you qualify for an exception. For "fund of funds", the fund acts as an ERISA investor.

Private equity funds typically start with high minimum investment requirements, often ranging from $250,000 to several million dollars. For institutional investors and high net worth (HNW) individuals, the standard entry point has been around $25 million.

There is no minimum number of employees that a business must have for ERISA law to apply. Employers must follow ERISA rules when developing and implementing a retirement and/or health benefits plan. They are required to clearly spell out details of the plan's features within a Summary Plan Description (SPD).

The typical split in profits between LPs and GP is 80 / 20. That means, the LP gets distributed 80% of the profits on an exit (after returning their initial capital) and the GP keeps 20% of the profits.

Further, the 25 percent threshold is calculated on each class of partners' capital. Thus, if there are multiple classes of capital, any one of which has more than 25 percent ERISA investors, then the whole fund is considered a plan asset fund and ERISA compliance rules will need to be met.
