What is the class action claim?

The Pentegra Defined Contribution Plan for Financial Institutions (“Pentegra”) allegedly violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) by seeking to maximize its profits at the expense of the participants in the plan.  Defendants allegedly loaded the Pentegra plan with high-cost investment products charging employee participants millions of dollars per year in excess fees to boost its own profits at the expense of employee participants. The lawsuit seeks to recover the excessive fees charged to employee participants over the past 6 years and to obtain injunctive and other equitable relief for employee participants as a remedy for Pentegra’s violations of ERISA.
