Should the SEC Step in Where the DOL Has Faltered?

February 22, 2017 | by Thomas Coyle | Financial Advisor IQ

There’s confusion over the prospects of Department of Labor’s new fiduciary rule for retirement accounts. And this tumult — spawned largely by a recent directive from U.S. President Donald Trump for a broad-based re-examination of federal financial regulations and animated by court battles over the DOL’s right to make such a rule in the first place — has been seized on by an industry seemingly reluctant to embrace the President Barack Obama-era change in the first place.
