Over the past few months, The ESOP Association has been conducting an expansive market research study looking into attitudes toward ESOPs and employee ownership. Our goal for this ambitious project is to help ESOPs and professional service providers gain an edge in both internal and external communications through data-driven messaging that resonates with target audiences. We are just now starting to receive and analyze the results from this first-of-its-kind study, and we will release the initial findings and key takeaways at next week’s National Conference in Washington, DC.

Below are some observations on how these proposed changes, as currently presented, may affect ESOPs.

The Department of Labor proposes regulations that would make advisors to ERISA plans—including ESOP appraisers—fiduciaries under ERISA. A grassroots effort on Capitol Hill helps ensure the new regulations would not adversely affect ESOPs and the “fiduciary rule” is rejected.
