Description: Section 408(a) of the

ERISA gives the Secretary of Labor the

right to grant a conditional or

unconditional exemption of any

fiduciary or class of fiduciaries or

transactions, from all or part of the

restrictions imposed by section 406 of

ERISA. Prohibited Transaction Class

Exemption 97–41 permits an employee

benefit plan to purchase shares of one

or more open-end management

investment companies (Mutual Fund)

registered under the Investment

Advisers Act of 1940 and which also

serves as a fiduciary of the plan, in

exchange for plan assets transferred inkind to the Mutual Fund from a

collective investment fund (CIF)

maintained by the bank or plan adviser,

where the bank or plan adviser is both

the adviser to the Mutual Fund and a

fiduciary of the plan. The transfer must

be in connection with a complete

withdrawal of a plan’s assets from the

CIF. By requiring that the bank give to

an independent fiduciary notice of the

in-kind transfer, full written disclosure

of the information concerning the

Mutual Fund company, and any

ongoing disclosures, this ICR insures

that the exemption is not abused, the

rights of the participants and

beneficiaries are protected, and that

compliance with the exemption’s

conditions is taking place.
