DOL Decides to Re-propose Reg on Definition of Fiduciary; Expected in Early 2012
Employee Benefits Security Administration [EBSA], U.S. Department of Labor [DOL] [Official Guidance] Sept. 19, 2011
Today's decision to re-propose means that this important consumer protection initiative will benefit from additional input, review and consideration.... [T]he agency anticipates revising provisions of the rule including, but not restricted to, clarifying that fiduciary advice is limited to individualized advice directed to specific parties, responding to concerns about the application of the regulation to routine appraisals and clarifying the limits of the rule's application to arm's length commercial transactions, such as swap transactions. Also anticipated are exemptions addressing concerns about the impact of the new regulation on the current fee practices of brokers and advisers, and clarifying the continued applicability of exemptions that have long been in existence that allow brokers to receive commissions in connection with mutual funds, stocks and insurance products.
