Finding Value Under the New DOL Regime
Fiduciary Matters Blog Nov. 17, 2016
"Assuming a Financial Institution has not fully adopted all the requirements imposed by the new regulation what happens to Financial Institution and the advisers they support if they are not ready? There are two options: [1] Establish a moratorium on the sale of any new products to new or existing clients along with a prohibition of providing recommendations/suggestions to existing clients. [2] Adopt some or none of the new requirements and continue providing recommendations with the understanding that since all the new requirements are not adopted, all compensation received is received without an exemption and is subject to disgorgement along with lost opportunity cost, potential penalties and/or excise taxes since the exemption does not apply."
