  United Airlines 401(k) Plans
  About two months before United Airlines (UAL) filed for bankruptcy, Fiduciary Counselors was retained as independent fiduciary for the UAL Stock Fund which was an investment option in United's three 401(k) plans. Fiduciary Counselors first action was to direct the trustee to stop purchasing UAL stock. Fiduciary Counselors was able to sell all of the UAL stock before UAL filed for bankruptcy. Fiduciary Counselors had worked with the trustees to transfer the cash portion into the default option in each plan and notified participants that the funds were available for reinvestment.
