ERISA
Definition of ERISA:
ERISA is The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, a major U.S. law which
guaranteed certain categories of employees a pension after some period at
their employer; there had been more ambiguity before about what rules an
employer could put on which employees could get a pension. Also ERISA changed
the perceived rules about whether pensions could be invested in venture
capital.
