CFP Board Requests Extension to Comment Period for DOL Investment Alternatives Proposal

On May 12, 2026, CFP Board requested an extension to the comment period for a Proposed Rule by DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration entitled "Fiduciary Duties in Selecting Designated Investment Alternatives." In the letter, CFP Board also requests that the DOL issue a request to collect information from a broad and diverse representation of plan advisers to defined contribution plans of all sizes. This would ensure that the final rule reflects a workable prudent process for all types of advisers and plans, and such a rule would have more durability in the future, affording fiduciaries the stability to confidently approach and execute their obligations in selecting appropriate investments.
