Update: DOL Issues Non-Enforcement Policy on Fiduciary Rule
Following the recent federal court decision to vacate the fiduciary duty rule, the Department of Labor released a Field Assistance Bulletin setting forth a temporary enforcement policy applicable to investment advice fiduciaries. The new policy is intended to address uncertainty about fiduciary obligations formerly required by the DOL rule, or under the Best Interest Contract Exemption, the Principal Transactions Exemption and certain amended prohibited transaction exemptions (collectively PTEs).
