A recent article in Barron’s magazine discussed a lawsuit filed by Ameriprise employees over losses in their 401(k) plans. The employees claim that Ameriprise favored funds managed by its subsidiary, which had a poor investment record and high fees. The 401(k) fund suffered $20 million in investment losses, but some of the fees went back into Ameriprise’s pockets, according to the lawsuit. This lawsuit begs the question: if Ameriprise as an entity so flagrantly flaunts its fiduciary responsibility as to have its own employees bring a lawsuit, then how can those same employees justify recommending Ameriprise and its products for their clients?
