The Retirement Gamble

A class action lawsuit has recently been filed against Vail Resorts over the 401(k) retirement plan, for failing to monitor the investments. The suit alleges that the Vail Resorts 401(k) plan has high administrative fees, and poor net performance, which may have put Vail in a breach of fiduciary duties.
