A number of states are seeking to impose fiduciary or best interest requirements on broker-dealers, investment advisers, financial planners and/or insurance brokers and producers in their dealings with customers. While the rules vary from state to state, they are in addition to – and sometimes inconsistent with – federal requirements being considered by the SEC or by the Department of Labor for retirement investment advice. We have prepared a chart summarizing the activities in each state along with proposals of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), which we update periodically as needed. You may access the chart here.
