  • Petition Supporting a Fiduciary Standard for Financial Professionals the Financial Planning Coalition
    June 23, 2011 The Honorable Mary L. Schapiro Chairman U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission 100 F Street NE Washington, DC 20549 Re: Petition Supporting a Fiduciary Standard for Financial Professionals Dear Chairman Schapiro: The Financial Planning Coalition (“the Coalition”) is pleased to send you a petition signed by more than 5,200 financial planning professionals urging the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) to apply a fiduciary standard to anyone providing personalized investment advice to retail clients.1 The Coalition, which consists of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board), the Financial Planning Association (FPA), and the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), represents financial planning professionals across the country with diverse business and compensation models who are committed to acting in the best interest of their clients. The Coalition appreciates the leadership you have shown in your support of a fiduciary standard for advice provided to retail investors. We are deeply concerned that current regulations governing the delivery of personalized investment advice are insufficient to protect investors. A recent study conducted by the Coalition, the Consumer Federation of America, and other groups confirmed that investors remain confused about the advice they receive.2 • Retail investors do not understand the regulatory differences between broker-dealers and investment advisers, or the standards of care that apply to each. • Most American investors mistakenly believe stockbrokers and insurance agents are required to act in the best interest of their clients. 1 In signing the petition, individuals were given the option not to provide personal information. Of those who signed the petition, approximately 787 chose this option.
