    SEC Approves Regulation Best Interest, Form

    In classic Greek mythology, a golden apple of discord inscribed "For the fairest" was awarded to Aphrodite, beginning a chain of events that led to the Trojan War. GrayRobinson's newsletter reports on the most recent issues, individuals, and discourse deemed fairest in Washington.

A legendary performer and global ambassador for his hometown of New Orleans, he won six Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Hall of Fame—but how many people have Muppets created in their image? At least Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem play on. SEC approves Regulation Best Interest, Form CRS At a long-anticipated meeting on Wednesday, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted 3-1 to approve a package of rules and guidance establishing the obligations of investment advisers and brokers to their customers. Regulation Best Interest (BI) goes beyond previous “suitability” standards for investment brokers to ban certain practices and address elements of the broker-customer relationship including cost considerations and conflicts in broker compensation. Form CRS is a streamlined disclosure document to provide retail customers with information about fees, costs, services, conflicts of interest, the applicable standards of conduct, and any previous legal or disciplinary history. The Commission also approved an interpretation that updates and clarifies the standards of conduct for investment advisers under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and an interpretation of the “solely incidental” aspect of the broker-dealer exclusion under the Investment Advisers Act, intended to offer clearer guidance about when a broker- dealer’s activities cross the threshold to become investment advice.
