The Regulation of Retirement Products and Services: Full Steam Ahead

Washington, D.C. counsel Brad Campbell participated on a panel titled, “The Regulation of Retirement Products and Services: Full Steam Ahead,” at the ICI Mutual Funds and Investment Management Conference on Monday, March 31 in Orlando.

Brad offered insight into the current regulatory issues facing retirement plan service providers. He and his co-panelists addressed issues including: the DOL's efforts to redefine ERISA fiduciary advice; increasing regulatory and enforcement focus on IRA rollovers at FINRA, SEC and DOL; the new DOL proposal expanding disclosure requirements; and DOL initiatives addressing lifetime income projections in participant benefit statements and expanding the fiduciary safe harbor for selecting an annuity provider.
