Panelists will discuss:
- how this proposed guidance will impact their fiduciary duties if the guidance is finalized in the current form;
- the history of the DOL’s guidance on ESG considerations and proxy voting matters;
- whether the proposed regulations, if finalized, are likely to change plan investments.
