Everyday it seems less likely that the current SEC best interest rule, "Regulation best interest", will make it through to implementation in anything near its current form. Not only has the industry complained about its governing of titles, but many say the rule's complex grouping-but-delineation between brokers and advisors just doesn't make sense. Now, the group of advocates that succeeded in bringing down the DOL's fiduciary rule have officially turned their sights on the SEC rule. The group, called NAIFA, says it supports a best interest standard, but vehemently protests the restriction on the use of titles.
FINSUM : We commiserate with the SEC because we understand the logic they used to make this rule, but we do feel the current iteration is doomed.
