The Boston Behemoth has introduced a new product, e401(k), that is designed to provide a full-service 401(k) plan to small companies with between 5 and 100 participants, a Fidelity spokesperson told the 401kWire.com. There is no minimum on the amount of assets. As Robert L. Reynolds, president of Fidelity Investments Institutional Retirement Group, told the 401kWire.com at the beginning of 1998, the hope was to administer a 401(k) completely online. Now, it looks like the firm believes it has met those goals...

The Odds of Surviving a DoL Audit
One of the most dreaded events for plan sponsors and their vendors alike is having to suffer through a Department of Labor audit. Through the first three quarters of 1997 the DOL launched 5,000 investigations of plan sponsors. The good news for sponsors is that the majority of these cases were closed with no violations found or indictments handed down. By last October, 4,500 or 90% of these cases had been closed with only 1,200 violations or what the DOL calls "results", says Billy F. Beaver, director of enforcement at the Department...
