Description
This program was recorded during a live presentation given on June 2, 2016 at 12:00PM EST.
*******************************************************************************

The new final regulation defining what it means to be an investment advice fiduciary contains the “Best Interest Contract (BIC) prohibited transaction exemption (PTE), which will allow “conflicted compensation” to be paid if the terms of the BIC exemption are met. While less complicated than the 2015 proposed BIC, the final rule imposes a number of significant requirements on financial professionals. This session will review the BIC, along with its requirements and limitations. In addition, this session will cover concurrent changes to other PTEs that can impact financial professionals and plan administrators.

  • How the prohibited transaction rules impact financial professional compensation under the final fiduciary regulations
