The DOL’s Fiduciary Rule is perhaps the most significant event in advisor oversight since ERISA was enacted in 1974. It will have a profound and lasting impact on how advisors provide advice and client services. The fundamental premise of the rule is that all advice is a fiduciary act and must therefore be in the best interests of the investors and beneficiaries.
