How the Fiduciary Rule Affects Your Business

During this transformative time in the financial industry, you can use the Department of Labor’s Fiduciary Rule as an opportunity to thrive, beginning with understanding the next best steps forward.

The Best Interest Contract Exemption (BICE) creates expectations built on more than good faith. You need to know the answers your clients and prospects are asking. And the Fiduciary standard sets greater expectations and scrutiny to always work on behalf of your clients’ best interests.

And with the IRA marketplace thriving – amassing some $7.4 trillion in total nationwide assets – now is the perfect time to position yourself as the expert who can provide the guidance your current and future clients need. 

Download our Fiduciary Rule analysis below – complete with a chart that dissects the impact this rule will have on your business’ structure and a detailed white paper taking you through the changes and opportunities available to advisors who take the steps to seize them.

— Amy Jamrog, Massachusetts

“This course and team were 1st class. This by far was the best online training I have ever received. They were seamless with each other presenting and the ease of technology used was perfection.”

— Melinda Chase, Florida
