The Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a proposal to update the definition of an investment advice fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The updated definition of an investment advice fiduciary would apply when a financial service provider gives investment advice for a fee to retirement plan participants, IRA owners and others.
Following requests by the IAA and others, the DOL has extended its grace period for compliance with its new Fiduciary Exemption through January 31, 2022 – and says it won’t enforce the specific requirements pertaining to rollovers until June 30, 2022.
The IAA has asked the DOL to delay compliance with the DOL Fiduciary Exemption until it has completed additional related regulatory action, or for at least six months from the current December 20, 2021 deadline, to give advisers additional time to update their processes
