Some reps who think they are ready for a fiduciary standard may not fully grasp the implications.
More than two-thirds of financial advisors, 67 percent, say recent moves by regulators are having “minimal to no impact” on their risk assessment processes, according to a survey. Plus, 68 percent say Department of Labor and Securities and Exchange Commission actions have had “minimal to no impact on their client interactions regarding risk assessment.”
The survey, led by the tech firm AdvisoryWorld, also says 62 percent of the roughly 250 poll respondents are “not changing their documentation practices in anticipation of the DOL fiduciary duty rule being finalized,” the firm says.
