E

In a pension plan, the duty of the fiduciary is to the plan participants and their beneficiaries rather than to the plan sponsor that has the power to hire and fire the investment manager. If urged to make investments that might be of direct benefit to a sponsoring community or to the community at large, the manager must ensure that such investments are legal and do not impair the integrity of the funds in question or the financial security of the participants/beneficiaries.
