PLI’s blog edited by Clifford E. Kirsch on Regulatory Developments for BDs and IAs.

The legal framework applying to fiduciary investment advice is undergoing a sea change. The SEC has finalized its rulemaking that is dramatically changing the regulatory framework establishing standard of conduct obligations for broker-dealers, and has also issued interpretative guidance that clarifies the scope of advisers’ fiduciary duties.  The DOL has indicated its rulemaking will be next and has signaled that its rule proposal will be out very soon.   While the regulatory framework takes shape, regulators are subjecting regulatory entities to intense scrutiny regarding firms’ identification, disclosure and mitigation of conflicts of interest. In this program, we review the respective frameworks and discuss practical considerations for navigating the regulatory maze.
