Company: Morningstar
Category: Technology - Thought Leadership
Initiative: Financial Services Observer, Oct. 2015 – The U.S. Dept. of Labor ‘s Fiduciary Rule for Advisors Could Reshape the Financial Sector

Based on Morningstar analysts’ proprietary estimates, this 53-page research report argues the Dept. of Labor’s conflict-of-interest rule will affect around $3 trillion of client assets and $19 billion of revenue at full-service wealth management firms.  Morningstar estimates the low-end of prohibited transaction revenue is $2.4 billion, using Morningstar Direct data. The report puts dollar figures behind illustrations of how discount brokerages, passive investments and robo-advisors will benefit from the rule, while some asset managers and insurance companies will be challenged.
