Final answer:

The investment manager being on an approved list by the bank's board of directors is not a requirement for their appointment as described in Section 3(38) of ERISA.

Step-by-step explanation:

When reviewing the appointment of investment managers as described in Section 3(38) of ERISA, which would NOT be a consideration, the correct answer is that the investment manager being on the approved list established by the bank's board of directors is not a requirement. What matters according to ERISA is that the investment manager is named or has the authority to be appointed by a named fiduciary, is a qualified bank or insurance company, and acknowledges in writing their fiduciary status with respect to the pension plan.
