Sixth Circuit largely affirms dismissal of ERISA claims challenging TriHealth’s 401(k) plan choices
July 13, 2022
The Second Circuit relied on the recent decision in Smith v. CommonSpirit Health to reject plaintiffs’ claims that plan expenses were excessive, and that the plan should have included alternative investments with lower fees and higher performance. But the court reversed the dismissal of claims that TriHealth violated the duty of prudence by failing to offer share classes that were less expensive. The U.S. Chamber filed an amicus brief supporting dismissal of all claims.
