Nationwide Life Insurance Co. must defend claims that it charged excessive fees for record-keeping and customer services provided to 401(k) plans it administered on behalf of employers.
A federal judge in Ohio Aug. 24 refused to dismiss the lawsuit filed last year by an investor in a 401(k) plan sponsored by law firm Andrus Wagstaff. The investor seeks to represent more than 37,000 plans and 2.4 million individual investors.
