The newly instigated reform is very vague as interpretation of what Fiduciary Standard would be.
the current Suitability standard that we are highly regulated on is in my opinion a very good safegaurd and adequate to determine a customers needs and application of their particular plans and goals.No matter a persons intent markets don't perform as they have in the past and to look back is always without risk. When serving a client no one has the ability to know the future and being held to a Fiduciary Standard that looks back is unrealistic.
This is not only bad for me as a Registered Representative but it will not be good for the country in any financial aspect.
