WHAT IS REGULATION BEST INTEREST?
On June 5, 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a package of rulemakings and interpretations designed to enhance the quality and transparency of retail investors’ relationships with investment advisers and broker-dealers, bringing the legal requirements and mandated disclosures in line with reasonable investor expectations, while preserving access (in terms of choice and cost) to a variety of investment services and products. Specifically, these actions include new Regulation Best Interest, the new Form CRS Relationship Summary, and two separate interpretations under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Individually and collectively, these actions are designed to enhance and clarify the standards of conduct applicable to broker-dealers and investment advisers, help retail investors better understand and compare the services offered and make an informed choice of the relationship best suited to their needs and circumstances, and foster greater consistency in the level of protections provided by each regime, particularly at the point in time that a recommendation is made.
WHAT IS A CLIENT RELATIONSHIP SUMMARY (FORM CRS)?
Form CRS is designed to provide investors with simple, plain-English information about the relationship between the client and the financial professional. Here’s what you can expect to find inside Form CRS:
- Firm Information
- A Description of Services Offered
- Information on Fees and Costs
- Information Regarding Conflicts of Interest
- A Summary of Firm and Advisor Disciplinary History
- Conversation Starters for Customers to Ask the Advisor
