 NAIFA Meets with SEC Chair to Advocate for Members on 'Best Interest'

NAIFA Past-President Paul Dougherty, along with representatives of the NAIFA government relations team, met with SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and key SEC staff April 15 to discuss the SEC’s proposed Regulation BI.

Dougherty and NAIFA staff emphasized to Chairman Clayton the importance of the rule being neutral with respect to support for or favoring a particular business model or compensation structure. Dougherty also raised NAIFA members' concerns about provisions in the proposed regulation that would impose restrictive limits on who can use the term "advisor/adviser," and cautioned the SEC officials that if required disclosures to clients are too lengthy or complex, then consumers would simply not read them.
