RETIREMENT PLAN TOPICS & TRENDSHighlighting the retirement plan regulatory and legislative environment

Second Quarter 2017

The US Department of Labor’s Fiduciary Rule took effect June 9, 2017.

The rule expands the circumstances under which an entity will be considered a Fiduciary under

the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and related exemptions.

• There will be a transition period for the full application of the Fiduciary Rule. All entities must

be fully compliant by January 1, 2018.

• The rule is intended to protect plans and participants from Conflicts of Interest, Disloyalty, and

Imprudence. The Fiduciary Standard is a higher level of accountability than the Suitability

Standard, which was previously required of most impacted entities.

• We believe the greatest impact relates to IRA rollovers. The rule will expand the definition of

Fiduciary to include entities that make recommendations or solicitations to retirement plans and

IRA’s. Previously, only advisors that charged a fee for service (hourly or as a percentage of

assets) were considered fiduciaries.

• The DOL rule doesn't ban commissions or revenue sharing, but it requires advisers who do

accept them to have clients sign a best interest contract exemption, or BICE. It pledges the

adviser will act in the client's best interests and only earn “reasonable” compensation. The

exemption also must disclose information to clients about fees and potential conflicts of

interest.

• Education about retirement savings and general financial and investment information is not

considered fiduciary advice covered under the rule.

RETIREMENT PLAN TOPICS & TRENDS

1. How does this impact my Plan?

Any individuals or entities that provide advice to your plan participants will have to adhere to

the rule. This rule will impact Record-Keepers and Administrators that work with your plan

(Innovest has always been a fiduciary). It could impact how participant education is

conducted in some instances. The rule also requires full transparency for fees and

commissions, which could impact some expense statements and disclosures that you or your

participants receive.

2. What do I need to do?

Ask your providers if their processes are in line with the new provisions and if not, how they

plan to become compliant. Changes will depend on the level of service your current

providers are delivering and whether they are already operating as fiduciaries or not.

3. Is this permanent? Could it be changed?

On July 6, 2017 the DOL issued a request for input on a potential delay in the January 1, 2018

applicability date of certain provisions of the fiduciary rule. This is an ongoing examination

and could impact the rule in the future.

GLOBAL ECONOMICS

• In 2007 the world economy grew by 5.6%, while

this year it is projected to grow by only 3.5%.

• India (7.2%) and China (6.6%) are the only two

large economies projected to grow rapidly in

2017, and the G7 is projected to grow by 1.9%

• Lower growth is a primary reason for lower

interest rates, lower inflation, and lower expected

investment returns.

Global Growth: Decelerating

Source: IMF. 2017 numbers are estimates.

Real GDP Growth: 2007 and 2017

• Inflation has fallen below the Fed’s target rate of

2.0%, despite a very low unemployment rate of

4.4%.

• Wages, salaries and benefits have risen a modest

2.5% in the last 12 months.

• June retail sales excluding gasoline were

moderately higher than a year ago—up 3.2%

Inflation: Below Target

GLOBAL ECONOMICS, CONTINUED

• In the next few months the US Federal Reserve

plans to begin trimming its $4.5 trillion balance

sheet, including its 20% ownership of US

government bonds.

• Central Banks purchased bonds in the credit crisis

to help reduce rates on mortgages and other debt.

• The unwinding of global quantitative easing is a

new phenomenon, the results of which are hard to

predict.

Percentage of Domestic Government Bonds Held by Central BanksFed: Time to Unwind

• Since the end of the housing market crisis, home

prices have recovered at a much faster pace than

wages.

• National home prices have appreciated about

5.5% in the last 12 months, while average hourly

earnings rose by 2.5% during the same period.

• The median price of an existing US home was

$252,800 in May (the highest on record), and

there is strong demand and limited supply for less

expensive housing.

ASSET CLASS FUNDAMENTALS

Data are year-over-year changes in trailing twelve-month revenue and earnings per share, calculated quarterly.

The most recent twelve-month growth rates are through 3/31/2017. Source: S&P Capital IQ.

• Trailing four-quarter S&P 500 earnings as of

March 31 grew at the fastest year-over-year

rate in three years.

• Second quarter S&P 500 earnings are forecast

to have grown 6.5% from the same period a

year earlier, according to FactSet.

• Equities’ cash flow yields are notably more

attractive in Europe (9.3%) and Japan (12.3%),

as compared to the US (7.0%). The higher the

yield, the higher the potential future returns.

Corporate Earnings: Rebounding

• Since the Fed started raising short-term interest

rates in late 2015, longer term rates have

remained essentially unchanged.

• Low, or even negative, yields on non-US bonds

has fueled purchases of higher yielding US

Treasuries, helping to hold down US interest rates.

• A flattening yield curve tends to reduce banks’

lending profitability, due in part to banks paying

higher rates on deposits.

US Treasury Yield CurveThe Treasury Yield Curve: Flattening

• Improvements in drilling and production

technology have significantly lowered break-even

costs for domestic oil drilling.

• The US rig count having doubled in the last year

and higher global production (despite OPEC’s

quotas) have pushed oil prices down by 20% since

February.

• Despite an improving outlook for MLPs’ volume

and distribution growth, retail investors have

reduced their exposures to the asset class.

• US high yield fixed income spreads have compressed

since early 2016.

• Annual default rates for US high yield bonds and

floating rate loans were recently 1.50% and 1.54%,

respectively, significantly below historic averages.

• Default rates on below-investment-grade paper are

expected to increase during the next recession.
