Labor Department finalizes investment-advice exemption
Bloomberg
The Department of Labor on Tuesday finalized a prohibited transaction exemption permitting investment-advice fiduciaries to receive compensation for more types of their guidance, including advice to roll over assets from a retirement plan to an individual retirement account.
The exemption will go into effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register and after the Biden administration takes office Jan. 20. The new administration can halt and review any rule-making effort that is not in effect, meaning that the exemption has an uncertain fate.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 currently prohibits investment advice fiduciaries from self-dealing, or taking actions that would provide additional compensation from transactions for themselves, their affiliates or related entities involving plans and individual retirement accounts.
