2016. It was the best of years, it was the worst of years. The annum began with all the excitement of the day before Christmas, with the unopened promise of a neatly wrapped fiduciary rule soon to be delivered under the investment advice tree by the jolly DOL elf.
It’s now nearly twelve months later, and all that excitement has withered with the knowledge that same fiduciary rule will soon be left abandoned like so many toys in the days following Christmas.
The road to fhe fiduciary rule has been long but ever ascendant, but now many are left wondering “What’s Next?” (see “‘Houston, the Fiduciary Has Landed.’ Where Does ‘Fiduciary’ Go From Here?” FiduciaryNews.com, December 6, 2016). Some cling to the vague hope this is all but a dream, and when the new morning dawns, the world will return to the normal we all once embraced.
