The Institutional Investor has just named Fred Reish as the recipient of its 2006 Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the retirement plan industry. In describing his contributions, Institutional Investor, through its publication "Defined Contribution & Savings Plan Alert," said:
Reish, a partner at Los Angeles-based Reish Luftman Reicher & Cohen, has become an icon among private-sector pension specialists and government officials seeking to hammer out fiduciary guidelines for the defined contribution industry. Through his efforts as a prolific writer, public speaker and participant in industry focus groups, Reish has emerged as one of the top national experts on the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and has been tapped repeatedly by government sources for guidance in drafting new fiduciary guidelines.
We are proud of our firm's contributions to the retirement industry, and particularly to developing voluntary correction programs with both the IRS and the DOL and to the promotions of best fiduciary practices for 401(k), 457(b) and 403(b) plans.
