The DOL Rule: A Milestone for the Profession
Bob Veres in Inside Information Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
Apr. 8, 2016
"[T]he new rule fundamentally (and with pretty zero exception) requires the broker or independent BD rep to act as a fiduciary. That brings a lot of people into the principles-based universe, which is alien territory for the brokerage firms. They'll all have to set up subsidiaries that function as fee-compensated RIAs in order to keep working with qualified plan money.... Most importantly, the DOL rule writers seem to have been very careful to make sure that Wall Street firms and sales agents cannot disclose away, disclaim away or have their customers contractually sign away fiduciary responsibility."
