Why Labor Department Gets a Say on IRA Advice
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required Apr. 23, 2015 "Why does Labor's rulemaking extend to IRAs? That dates back to a 1978 agreement between the Labor and Treasury departments that is sometimes referred to as the 'peace treaty,' says Norman Stein, a law professor at Drexel University.... Under that division of labor, the Labor Department defines when advisers to retirement plans and to retirement savers are 'fiduciaries' who must put clients' interests first.... The proposal ... says IRAs and workplace plans should have similar protections, given that both benefit from tax incentives to encourage retirement security. In that way, IRAs are more like workplace plans than other investment accounts, the Labor Department proposal says." |
