On June 1, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Department of Labor ("DOL") issued tips to assist pension fiduciaries in evaluating the objectivity of advice and recommendations furnished by their pension consultants. These tips are the result of a study dated May 16, 2005 (the "Study") by the SEC of 24 pension consulting firms focusing on potential conflict of interest disclosures. In the Study, the SEC also provides guidance to pension consultants on establishing conflict policies and procedures.
