About This Course

This course examines the Department of Labor's (DOL) proposed rule regarding fiduciary duty in retirement investing. The rule aims to re-define fiduciary status under ERISA, expanding its scope to include more financial advisors. This course will delve into the rule's historical context, legal foundation, potential impact on advisor behavior, and consequences for investor outcomes.

We will begin by exploring the current legal framework governing retirement accounts, focusing on the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and ERISA regulations.
The course will then analyze the proposed DOL rule's impact on financial advisor compensation, examining the potential changes in fee structures, minimum account balances, and service offerings.
We will also assess how the rule might affect investor behavior, including contribution levels, time spent managing investments, and overall reliance on financial advice.
Finally, we will consider the broader economic implications of the proposed rule, evaluating its potential to reshape the market for retirement advice and the industry's response to these changes.

This course will equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the DOL's proposed rule, its potential impact on the retirement investment landscape, and its implications for investors and advisors alike.
