New DOL Rules
Caissa has been doing it all along!
The "Conflict of Interest Rule" proposed by the DOL seeks to apply a "fiduciary standard" to any financial advisor who makes recommendations about clients' retirement accounts. The ruling is expected to reshape the financial industry for many advisors. While this may be a big change for the brokerage industry, we have ALWAYS practiced with these fiduciary standards.
Regarding the markets, the last eight months have been tough. While 2015 got off to a rocket start, the markets gave up most of their gains for the year domestically and internationally it was a terrible year - down between 5-13% depending on the investment.
