A Message From the Editor

This week, Pres. Biden issued his first veto on retirement legislation. He rejected a bill passed by the House and Senate to block the Labor Department’s new ESG rule, which allows portfolio managers to weigh environmental issues in investment decisions. While this ESG issue continues to play out this year, let’s take a look at SECURE 2.0, the new legislation that employers, plan sponsors and advisors are still unpacking since it was passed in late December. It’s time to get up to speed on auto-enrollment, new eligibility requirements for part-timers and tax credits for small businesses.
