DOL's Re-Proposed Fiduciary Definition Widely Prohibits Personalized Investment Assistance Even If the Assistance Is in Customer's Best Interest
Davis & Harman LLP [Guidance Overview] Apr. 23, 2015
7 pages. "The framework set up by the DOL could work conceptually, but in its current form, it would have the same effects as the original 2010 proposal -- cutting off the option for low and middle-income individuals and small businesses to receive personalized investment assistance.... The re-proposal [includes] an exemption from the prohibited transaction rules that could, if it worked correctly, preserve access to investment assistance. But the exemption does not work: it is extremely narrow, is not principle-based, and includes such impractical conditions that it is unusable."
