Video Highlights

Employers and workers deserve better information about their 401(k) plans, and the mutual fund industry is working with the Department of Labor, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Congress to improve disclosure, says Martin L. Flanagan, chairman of the Investment Company Institute. In his opening address to ICI’s 49th General Membership Meeting on May 9, 2007, Flanagan lauded the extraordinary rise of 401(k) plans, which have accumulated $2.7 trillion in assets over the system’s first 25 years. Flanagan, who is also president and CEO of AMVESCAP, also praised the fiduciary partnership between mutual fund advisers and their boards.

Brian Murdock, chairman of the 2007 General Membership Meeting, discusses the meeting's theme, “The Enduring Value of Mutual Funds.” Murdock, president and CEO of New York Life Investment Management, praises the innovation and competition of the fund industry. He also calls for “clearer, more immediate, and more accessible” disclosure for all fund investors.
