DOL Issues ERISA Fiduciary Guidance on Proxy Advisory Services

The US Department of Labor issued Technical Release 2026-01 on April 15, 2026, providing guidance on ERISA fiduciary requirements and preemption provisions as they apply to proxy advisory services. The DOL takes the position that proxy advisory firms regularly qualify as ERISA fiduciaries—both as functional fiduciaries under Section 3(21)(A)(i) when exercising discretion over voting policies, and as investment advice fiduciaries under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) when providing advice to ERISA plan clients on how to exercise shareholder rights. The Technical Release also addresses ERISA preemption of state laws regulating proxy advisory firms, concluding that certain disclosure requirements may not have a sufficient connection to ERISA plans to trigger preemption.

DOL Technical Release 2026-01 on Proxy Advisors as ERISA Fiduciaries

The DOL's Technical Release 2026-01 establishes that proxy advisory firms qualify as functional fiduciaries under ERISA when they exercise authority over shareholder voting rights or provide investment advice for a fee to ERISA plans. The Release clarifies that proxy rights are plan assets subject to ERISA and that managing proxy rights is fiduciary in nature, requiring exclusive pursuit of maximizing risk-adjusted investment returns. This marks a departure from prior DOL guidance under the Biden administration regarding ESG factor consideration. The Release also addresses state laws regulating non-financial objectives in securities recommendations, generally finding such laws are not preempted by ERISA.

SEC and CFTC Issue Joint Interpretive Guidance Classifying Crypto Assets Under Securities Laws

On March 18, 2026, the FCA, PRA, and Bank of England announced a unified cyber and operational resilience framework establishing a single incident reporting portal across all three regulators, replacing fragmented notification processes that previously varied by regulator and incident type.

The final rules take effect March 18, 2027, requiring firms to re-test severe cyber scenarios, strengthen crisis communications, and validate third party resilience capabilities.

The coalition warns the CFPB's proposed strategic plan, which would cut the Office of Supervision Policy and Operations from 72 staff to a single person, undermines the agency's statutory obligation to supervise financial institutions and would leave consumers vulnerable at a time when 40% of U.S. adults have experienced financial fraud in the past year. The letter highlights that CFPB has delivered over $21 billion in consumer relief since its creation and argues the cuts would shift enforcement burden to states while abandoning billions in previously targeted consumer harm recovery.
