OTS Fiduciary Regulations: In general, OTS regulations track OCC’s 12 CFR 9 One notable exception - certain fiduciary activities performed by a thrift do not require fiduciary powers. Examples: Acting as trustee of certain EB plans, or acting as an IRA trustee.

Rent-A-Trustee Concerns
OCC Bulletin #2011-11 “Collective Investment Funds and Outsourced Arrangements” requires banks to: Perform due diligence on and periodically monitor your fund’s vendors Ensure only eligible participants are admitted to bank funds Include in any contract with a third party a requirement that the vendor will prominently identify the bank that sponsors the fund in any advertising and other materials.

Rent-A-Trustee Concerns
OCC Bulletin #2011-11 Principally applies to unaffiliated vendors such as RIAs Does not expressly apply to affiliates as we assume banks and their affiliated RIAs have a common interest not to unnecessarily assume reputation, compliance, strategic or transaction (operational) risks Continues to allow outsourcing of certain CIF functions to vendors, subject to longstanding OCC CIF and vendor management guidance.
