Retirement savers need the fiduciary rule, fully enforced, to help ensure they can enjoy a dignified retirement. See the story of Steve Wingate to learn what happens without this common-sense protection.
The Department of Labor should simply let the fiduciary rule, as written, take full effect. The effort to delay is nothing but an effort to buy time for creating a rationale to roll back the rule, and an abuse of a regulatory process set down in law. Enough.
Members of the Save Our Retirement coalition speak out forcefully against the Department of Labor’s proposed delay of the fiduciary rule, a common-sense protection that would ensure savers get the best advice possible.
In the face of supporting evidence described above, in addition to harming retirement savers, the Department would be exposing itself to significant legal risk to change course and further delay the Rule now.
