While there have been a large number of lawsuits against fiduciaries of retirement plans in recent years, there hasn’t been a significant Supreme Court decision on participant-directed plans, such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s, since 2015. That changed this January when the Supreme Court decided the case of Hughes v. Northwestern University.

Any time the Supreme Court speaks, it’s worth listening.
