How to Comply With DOL’s Best Interest Standard of Care

Los Angeles partner Fred Reish published an article for ThinkAdvisor titled, “How to Comply With DOL’s Best Interest Standard of Care.”

Fred emphasized the importance of the best interest standard of care in the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule and broke down the duties into both macro and micro prudence. “The macro requirement is that the investment products be generally prudent for retirement investors.
