Benefits and executive compensation partner Fred Reish was a featured guest on the 401(k) Specialist Pod(k)ast, which provides retirement and 401(k) advisers with tips and strategies to optimize their businesses.

On the episode, Reish discusses fiduciary duty, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing, Regulation Best Interest, and committee meetings in a time of COVID-19. Reish addresses how the new Congress and their approach to these topics are likely to impact the 401(k) and retirement planning space.

Reish also noted on the episode that he anticipates current ESG investment regulations to change under the new administration, explaining that Congress can review and overrule current regulation through the Congressional Review Act or the Department of Labor can issue a sub-regulatory guidance that would provide more detail about how to go about ESG investing.
