Monthly Membership Meeting: May 17, 2017

The DOL Conflict of Interest Rule is arguably the most transformative regulatory change for retirement investors and advisers since ERISA became law over 4 decades ago. 

The first compliance deadline, initially scheduled to take effect on April 10, 2017 was delayed.  The next interim standard deadline is Jun 9th.  More deadlines for additional standards and implementation remain on the horizon, amidst a tug of war between a new administration and a set of standards passed and on the cusp of enforcement.  

The investing public is more aware than ever of the word "fiduciary" and many major companies were already moving to implement these standards when the sea change occurred.  What does this mean for you and clients?  

This presentation will explore how the market is adapting to the new rule and will focus upon the most impactful dimensions of the Rule: IRA roll-overs, the two most significant carve-outs from the fiduciary definition, and the all-important Best Interest Contract Exemption.
