New challenges and new opportunities await U.S. advisors. Starting April 10, 2017, every U.S. financial advisor will be subject to an entirely new regulatory scheme, impacting all advice to qualified plans and their participants. The far-reaching impact of the rule will affect producers with every kind of product and service, including broker-dealers, registered investment advisors, insurance companies and banks. This session focuses on practical and tactical issues your firm needs to address to continue serving clients, including what to do with existing 401(k) and IRA accounts, adjusting product offering and fee schedules, creating communication with your client to document new duties under the rule, and thinking though new ways to package your offering to decrease complexity for your firm and your clients.
