Full compliance is not required until Jan. 1, 2018, allowing firms a transition period to set up policies and processes that conform to the new rule, but the clock is ticking.","\"It's really not January 2018 date you should be thinking about to have everything in place,\" said Nancy Reich, executive director, financial services at Ernst & Young, at an all-day seminar presented by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association on the DOL fiduciary rule. \"You have to have quite a lot of things in place by the April date in order to be able to comply.\"","By April 10, 2017 firms and advisors servicing retirement accounts must: <ul> <li>adhere to the impartial conduct standards – give prudent advice in line with a client's best interest, avoid misleading statements and receive no more than reasonable compensation</li> <li>notify retirement investors of their fiduciary status and any material conflicts of interest</li> <li>designate someone to address material conflicts of interest and monitor advisors' adherence to impartial conduct standards</li> </ul> \"It's complicated; it's big, a rule that has a lot of moving pieces,\" said Allen Meyer, partner at the Oliver Wyman consulting firm and a former head of compliance for corporate and investment banking. \"The temptation is to try to figure out the perfect strategy and figure out execution of that…. You have no choice but to get going now.\"","<div class=\"paywall-content\">With that in mind, here are some key points advisors and firms should consider according to speakers at the seminar, including DOL Deputy Assistant Secretary Timothy Hauser.","1. Recommendations","\"A core concept to remember is the concept of recommendation,\" said Hauser. \"If you're not getting a fee for a recommendation you are not a fiduciary. …Some say you can't have a conversation with a customer about a detail about an investment. That's not true. You can describe the attributes of an investment, important features, what happens with withdrawals, historical performance versus a benchmark and cost — basic information about a product… You're a fiduciary when you recommend that they [customers] make that investment.\"","But you're not a fiduciary under the DOL rule if you just distribute or write communications such as newsletters, articles, speeches and books about financial topics. \"Suze Orman is not a fiduciary advisor,\" said Hauser.","2. Compliance","\"Our approach is to get people into compliance,\" said Hauser. \"Through January 2018, we are not going to be going out of our way looking for ways to sue people. We will be looking for ways to help you get in compliance. After that I don't know.\"","There are many processes and procedures advisory firms need to adopt in order to comply with the fiduciary rule, so one of the first things they should do is identify potential conflicts related to direct and indirect direct compensation and then add to that list as necessary, said Myer of Oliver Wyman.","Then firms need to take into account the processes and procedures already on hand that can help address those potential conflicts.","\"Assess what already exists at your firm that can be leveraged or speaks to these requirements,\" said Reich. \"Determine where the gaps are, what needs development. It doesn't necessarily require completely new processes and procedures.\"","She suggests that firms use \"decision trees, traceability matrixes, heat maps and checklists\" to make that assessment, then identify where enhancements are needed.","Broker-dealer firms should review the suitability engines they currently use, and consider whether they will work under the best interest standard, which is the cornerstone of the new rule, said David Kaleda, principal, Groom Law Group.","One major means to comply with the new fiduciary rule is the best interest contract exemption (called a BIC or BICE), which allows advisors to receive commission-based compensation for retirement accounts. \"You're either conflict free or you'll use an available exemption,\" said Joshua Uhl, senior manager at Deloitte Consulting LLP.  \"A BIC will be needed in many instances. You'll need policies and procedures. Start now.\"","But before relying on an BICE, advisors \"have to acknowledge their fiduciary status,\" said Eric Serron, partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP.","There are a few levels of the BICE requirement that can be used, including a streamlined one that can be used by advisors who are already fiduciaries and receive \"level pay\" such as compensation in the form of a percent of assets when recommending that a client roll over a 401(k) account into an IRA. They must, however, document why the rollover was in the client's best interest.","3. Documentation","Documentation is key for advisors operating under the DOL fiduciary rule.","\"Make sure you are documenting why compensation is reasonable and that you have considered neutral factor and have performed evaluation of maybe comparable approaches,\" said Reich. \"Documentation will be very very important …You will need it in case regulators ask about it and there is potential for class-action suits or additional arbitrations.\"","\"Take good minutes, accurate minutes. You won't remember them five years from now. Document conversation and maintain that,\" said David Kaleda, principal, Groom Law Group.","4. The Dedicated Compliance Officer","The fiduciary rule requires that firms designate a person who will be responsible for addressing material conflicts of interest and for monitoring advisors' compliance with the rule but leaves it up to firms to decide who that person should be.","Whoever they are they should not be someone in the firm's regular compliance office, said Chris Joline, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Instead that monitor should be \"someone with direct control over performance and compensation ….This needs to be someone's day job.\" 5. Communication","Firms also need to communicate regularly with advisors about their efforts to comply with the DOL fiduciary rule and not wait until they finish making all necessary changes, according to panelists at the SIFMA seminar.","\"Let financial advisors know you're working on it,\" said Uhl of Deloitte Consulting.  \"Don't wait until you're done to start communicating,\" said Meyer. \"Get folks ready for a cultural change.\"","And prepare them for a change in behavior, too. For example, firms need to make advisors use its CRM software, which \"can be an impossible to thing to do,\" said Uhl. \"Behavior needs to change [and] that is often harder than a change in policy for some organizations.\"","6. Product Mix","Another change that panelists at the SIFMA seminar discussed concerned the mix of products and services offered by advisors.","Joline anticipates fewer investment products offered due to new disclosure requirements, or what he called \"portfolio rationalization.\" Firms will be required to disclose on their website fees and service charges, payments from third parties in connection with accounts, information about proprietary products and any material conflicts of interest and policies to mitigate those conflicts.","As a result demand for commission products could drop and their manufacturers will need to offer products that are more \"BICable,\" said Uhl.","He expects the fiduciary rule will also accelerate the proliferation of robo offerings because robos can help mitigate conflicts of interest and reduce costs to service accounts. The rule is \"driving a lot of firms to think about robo in a big way,\" said Uhl. \"There is a tremendous amount of competition now for robo services.\"","Of course, many of these changes were already happening in the industry before the DOL fiduciary rule was even proposed last year. The number of independent and affiliated robo-advisors has been rising, along with the assets they manage, and the percentage of mutual fund assets with loads or 12b-1 fees has been declining and the percentage of lower cost institutional shares and ETF shares have risen.","The fiduciary rule \"will accelerate these changes,\" said Thomas Selman, executive vice president for regulatory policy and legal compliance officer at FINRA.","— Check out <a href=\"http://www.thinkadvisor.com/2016/05/10/wells-fargos-mack-opens-up-on-how-an-advisor-helpe\">Wells Fargo's Mack Opens Up on How an Advisor Helped Her Cope With Tragedy</a> on ThinkAdvisor.","  Communication   Firms also need to communicate regularly with advisors about their efforts to comply with the DOL fiduciary rule and not wait until they finish making all necessary changes, according to panelists at the SIFMA seminar.   \"Let financial advisors know you're working on it,\" said Uhl of Deloitte Consulting.  \"Don't wait until you're done to start communicating,\" said Meyer. \"Get folks ready for a cultural change.\"   And prepare them for a change in behavior, too.
