FSI Testifies on New Jersey Fiduciary Proposal
Today, the Financial Services Institute will testify before the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, on the state’s proposed fiduciary rule regarding investment advice and its impact on Main Street investors.
In his testimony, FSI Executive Vice President and General Counsel, David Bellaire, will cite how the proposal burdens dual registrants and firms that provide solely incidental investment advice with a confusing and costly regulatory structure; how it reduces investor choice, raises the cost of investing and deprives some investors of access to a financial advisor. He will also explain how it conflicts with congressional intent expressed in the Advisers Act, the position of SEC and the New Jersey Uniform Securities Law as well as how it is preempted by NSMIA.
