DOL Fiduciary Rule

The DOL didn’t exercise the last legal recourse it had to defend the controversial rule, effectively ending the short life of the Obama-era regulation.

Both the DOL and the SEC turned a concept that is simple enough to be captured in a fortune cookie into an indecipherable instruction manual. It’s time to re-simplify what a fiduciary is.

For the second time, a three-judge panel ruled against the state attorneys general of New York, California and Oregon to intervene in the case against the DOL fiduciary rule.

The attorneys general of New York, California and Oregon are not giving up their fight to save the fiduciary rule just yet.

The quality of retirement investment advice available to investors could well come down to where they live.

There’s continuing confusion surrounding who will bear what burden.

Industry executives and experts say we will continue down the road toward a fiduciary standard, regardless of the court’s decision.
