The Department of Labor will focus heavily on fiduciary rules and SECURE 2.0 guidance, according to the newly published 2026 Unified Agenda.
The rule lists, posted by the DOL and the Department of the Treasury, revealed that the Employee Benefits Security Administration is again reworking “Prudence and Loyalty in Selecting Plan Investments,” often called the ESG rule, and “Fiduciary Duties in Selecting Designated Investment Alternatives,” commonly referred to as the alts rule.
