Check back soon for the webcast outline!

The long-awaited fiduciary definition regulation is here, along with a surprise: an end run by the DOL in an effort to eliminate "conflicts of interest" resulting from variable compensation structures for retirement investment advisors. Learn about the historical and political context for the proposal, the 2010 proposal and why it failed, and the details and implications of the 2015 proposal. The emphasis is on how third party administrators and recordkeepers are affected along with an in depth look at the impact on the financial advisory profession, and their interaction with IRAs, (and in particular rollovers).

Learning Objectives:
  • Understand how the new proposal differs from the 2010 release.
  • Learn how plan administrators and recordkeepers will be impacted.
  • Understand how plan distribution advice and rollovers are affected.
