    Event Synopsis:
    In an effort to clarify and enhance the existing regulatory requirements for broker-dealers, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently released its “Best Interest” standard. According to SEC, the proposed regulation is "designed to enhance the quality and transparency of investors’ relationships with investment advisers and broker-dealers while preserving access to a variety of types of advice relationships and investment products."

    If adopted as proposed, the standard will require broker-dealers and persons associated with a broker-dealer to act in the best interest of a retail customer when providing recommendations to any transactions involving securities.
