Financial Advice to Retirement Savers is Changing in Response to the DoL's New Fiduciary Rule

NEW YORK, April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Department of Labor's new fiduciary rule has created tougher requirements for retirement investment advisers, and massive confusion for individual investors.

"This is the most groundbreaking regulation for financial advisers in nearly 50 years, but most individual investors don't even know what a fiduciary is," says InvestmentNews editor Frederick P. Gabriel. "This game changing piece of regulation is about to upend many parts of the financial advice business."

Critics say the changes come with onerous legal requirements that could force brokers, who earn commissions, to abandon small investors. 

One thing is clear: Financial advice to retirement savers is about to change.

"It's almost impossible to overstate the significance of this rule change," Gabriel says.
