On October 31, 2023, the Department of Labor released a proposed rule entitled “Retirement Security Rule: Definition of an Investment Advice Fiduciary," the latest version of its fiduciary rule.

We invite you to watch our conversation from November 2, 2023 as we delve into our first take of the proposed rule and what it’s going to mean to you.

----- ----- -----

Here is what we know about the rule so far:

Who is considered a fiduciary: The proposal expands the definition to include one-time rollover advice.

Amendments to PTE 84-24: An independent producer must provide additional disclosures and insurance carriers will also be required to supervise rollover sales.

Amendments to PTE 2020-02: The Department did not make any significant changes to 2020-02, but merely proposed clarifying amendments.

Compensation Targeted: The rule could limit compensation agents could receive beyond commissions paid by the carrier.

Timing: The DOL will open a 60-day comment period on the proposal, and hold a public hearing on or around December 18, 2023.
