DOL Fiduciary Rule Update

The first phase of the DOL Rule means a few things for your team. 
It means investment advisors will become fiduciaries for retirement accounts, and the "impartial conduct standards" will be required. 
Advisors must: 

1. Give advice in the "best interest" of the investor
2. Charge no more than reasonable compensation, and 
3. Make no misleading statements.

CFS/SPF have been preparing for the DOL Fiduciary Rule all along, and have a series of resources, training, and tools to help financial institutions meet the new requirements. Our point of sale documentation and other processes have been in place for years and required just a few updates to be DOL-compliant. 


Other tools we launched last year to help our programs transition, such as monthly DOL compliance calls, our DOL-focused website "The DOL Corner," and our Product Mix Transition Calculator, a tool designed to help financial advisors analyze their books of business to understand the financial impact of post-DOL commission rates and changes in product mix.

With both our longstanding and new resources in order, CFS/SPF and our client financial institutions are ready for tomorrow and into the future with the DOL Fiduciary Rule. If you'd like to feel confident in your compliance and competitive advantage, email Connie at cgregory@cusonet.com for your copy of our DOL Strategy Document and learn more about working with a broker-dealer like CFS/SPF.
