Is There Any Update on Using CITs in 403(b) Plans?
Experts from Groom Law Group and CAPTRUST answer questions concerning retirement plan administration and regulations.
Reported by PS
I read your Ask the Experts column from 2016 where you indicate that collective investment trusts, for the most part, could not be used in 403(b) plans. Any update on that?
Kimberly Boberg, Taylor Costanzo, David Levine and David Powell, with Groom Law Group, and Michael A. Webb, senior financial adviser at CAPTRUST, answer:
As of this writing, that is still the case. However, there is legislation pending on a variety of retirement plan issues that would change this. At this point it is possible that such legislation will pass this month (December) but as of this writing it is uncertain whether the CIT provision will be included. If legislation is not passed in December, it may take some time for retirement plan legislation to be reintroduced, as a new Congress will be in session.
