A Fiduciary is a person who owes a duty of care and trust to another and must act primarily for the benefit of the other in a particular activity. Many of the actions needed to operate a qualified retirement plan involve fiduciary decisions. Fiduciaries are in a position of trust with respect to the plan participants and beneficiaries and are required to act solely in the interest of those participants and beneficiaries. The responsibility to be prudent covers a wide range of functions needed to operate a plan.
