Fiduciary Duties, Conflicts of Interest, and Client-Focused Retirement Planning [CLE Eligible]
Joint with the Labor & Economic Development Committee
The Department of Labor has proposed a rule to address possible conflicts of interest in retirement advice, and change what constitutes a “fiduciary.” It would require retirement advisers to abide by fiduciary duties similar to those imposed on ERISA plans. Advisers could not offer clients higher fee plans if there is a more favorable client-focused option available. Come learn about the proposed rulemaking and what it means for retirement planning.
