On May 15, Ropes & Gray investment management counsel David Tittsworth will participate as a panelist on an IA Watch Webinar titled “The SEC’s Three Fiduciary Duty-related Proposals: A Framework that Threatens to Transform How IAs and BDs Do Business.”
The panel will discuss the SEC’s three proposals – Reg Best Interest, Form CRS and an interpretation of the IA fiduciary duty standard, and will consider:
- Where the lines are drawn on compensation structures in proposed Regulation Best Interest
- What types of common industry practices would have to end
- Why advisers may need to prepare for mandatory licensing and financial standards
- How the confines of Form CRS will challenge even the most transparent firms
- Tips tied to the compliance officer’s role in ensuring adherence to new standards
- How the proposals may not offer the industry as much flexibility as some believe
