Why You Should Attend

Broker-dealers that are dually registered as investment advisers are under intense regulatory scrutiny—including an increasingly demanding examination focus from the SEC, FINRA and the states.  At the same time, the regulatory framework applying to dual-registrants is about to change dramatically with the anticipated finalization of the SEC’s enhanced standard of care applicable to broker-dealers.  At this program, attendees will be provided with expert analysis regarding today’s hot topics impacting the relevant regulatory framework, as well as practical considerations regarding the design and implementation of such programs. A distinguished faculty of practitioners and regulators will review current regulatory initiatives and recent examination and enforcement activity to give attendees a multi-faceted perspective on requirements and best practices in this area.

  • SEC and FINRA scrutiny of broker-dealer supervision of advisory activity
