The 15-Minute Fiduciary

Welcome to The 15-Minute Fiduciary!

Thank you for starting The 15-Minute Fiduciary course! We are thrilled to have you here with us.  We hope you will find the content helpful in strengthening your understanding of all things fiduciary.  

This course is divided into 17 bite-sized lessons or “units,” each of which is approximately 15 minutes in length.  The purpose of this innovative, self-paced course is to educate and guide you through the various fiduciary rules under ERISA, the law governing your retirement plan, while also sharing helpful tips and best practices.  Even if you are an experienced fiduciary, it is always good to show that you have completed continuing education annually.  After taking the course, you should be able to apply the skills, tools, and information learned to comply with your fiduciary duties and the requirements pertaining to retirement plan operation and administration. 

Included in this course are several helpful attachments that you can customize and use, which are accessible via the Materials tab of the course, as well as within each respective lesson. 

     Course Benefits:

• High quality education from top ERISA attorneys
• Learn at your own pace when it’s convenient for you
• Gain an understanding of regulatory rules and responsibilities to help minimize fiduciary risk
• Fidelity bond, or “ERISA bond” discount of 10% from Colonial Surety upon completing all units and quiz questions
