Background: The DOL Conflict of Interest Rule puts fiduciary duties front and center at a key time. Retiring boomers and nagging investor distrust in finance highlight the dilemma and confusion of the diverse views of fiduciaries and the industry. For investors, though, the question is simpler: ‘What should I expect from a really good fiduciary advisor?’
The Institute along with NAPFA, a partner on the Best Practices initiative, released Best Practices for Financial Advisors in September 2015 to help address this question. and has initiated testing of a tool for advisors to assess their adherence to Best Practices. Chairman’s Council members, NAPFA and dual registrants provided important input.
