This document is about proposed amendments to Prohibited Transaction Exemption 77-9 by the U.S. Department of Labor. The exemption relates to certain transactions involving employee benefit plans, brokers, insurance agents, pension consultants, insurance companies, investment companies, and underwriters. The proposed amendments would permit additional transactions, such as the provision of non-discretionary trust or custodial services by an investment company to a plan, and make other changes to the conditions of the exemption.
