    The Department of Labor has issued a notice regarding a proposed exemption for certain prohibited transaction restrictions relating to Goldman Sachs. This exemption, if granted, would allow certain entities affiliated with Goldman Sachs to continue engaging in activities normally restricted by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), despite Goldman Sachs Malaysia's conviction under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The exemption is proposed to last five years, and public comments are invited until February 10, 2021. The measures aim to protect affected plans and ensure compliance with specific conditions during the exemption period.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine Goldman Sachs is like a big playground, and usually, there are rules about who can play with their toys. But because someone did something naughty, they might not be allowed to use some toys. This new plan says maybe they can still play if they follow extra rules and promise to be good for the next five years, and people can share their thoughts about this plan until February 10th, 2021.

    The Department of Labor is considering a proposed exemption that would allow certain asset management affiliates of Deutsche Bank to not be barred from relying on a specific existing exemption, despite a past criminal conviction of a Deutsche Bank subsidiary. This exemption will only apply if the companies meet several conditions, such as not employing any individuals involved in the criminal conduct and maintaining strict compliance policies. This exemption aims to prevent disruptions for retirement and investment plans that use these affiliates, as losing the ability to use the exemption could lead to significant costs and disruptions for these plans. Public comments are being solicited to assess the potential benefits and costs of granting this exemption.
