Question

Qualified Retirement plans must provide a written Investment Policy Statement. Under ERISA interpretations, all of the following items must be included in the Investment Policy Statement EXCEPT:
[A] the client/participants investment goals and objectives
[B] risk tolerance and liquidity requirements of the client/participant
[C] time horizon
[D] a list of the actual securities in the portfolio

Answer 1

Answer:

D: a list of the actual securities in the portfolio

Explanation:

Under Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) interpretations, the details of risk, time horizon, target asset mix, investment goals and objectives, and guidelines for review are among the items which must be disclosed in the statement. A list of the specific investments in the plan is not a required disclosure.
