Fiduciary Rule

The new retirement platform will support advisors who are transitioning to the fiduciary model.

The industry's leading lobbying group, SIFMA, says that the Labor Department's fiduciary proposal would result in a messy regulatory framework that could spur the SEC to restore order to the chaos.

Voices: Advisors may regret delaying their preparation for the new regulation.

All advisors should familiarize themselves with the rule's likely changes to ERISA.

A fundamental role in the securities business is changing — and there’s no going back.

Banks are likely to accelerate the shedding of their in-house mutual fund businesses in light of the proposed rule.

Advisors should start getting up to speed now if they want to keep their heads above water when the rule begins to be implemented later this year, experts say.

Advisors' most pressing questions on the proposal get answers from SEI's head of practice management solutions.

Advisors' biggest concern is that converting to a fee-based model will lead to a drop in income. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Few independent firms will be unaffected by the change, and if they don’t get cracking, they may "find themselves in a costly and time-consuming game of catch-up," argue Robert Cirotti and Gabriel Garcia of Pershing.
