Impact of Fees on Fund Performance
The latest issue brief from SLGE and the Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College discusses how fees affect the ability of pension plans to meet or exceed their benchmarks. It may not come as a surprise to learn that fees can impact the bottom line, but download the brief for yourself so you can answer the questions you may be hearing from your plan’s stakeholders.
