Whether investment advice should be regulated at the federal level has remained a contentious issue since at least the passage of the 1940 Investment Advisers Act, when Congress injected the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) into what had previously been a common law driven regulatory regime. Dodd-Frank's Section 913 again inserts SEC into the process by requiring the SEC to study whether investment advisers and broker-dealers should be held to similar standards of conduct. Panelists will examine both the rationales for the current regulatory framework for investment advisers and whether that framework should be merged with the existing standards applied to broker-dealers.

This event is co-sponsored by the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard.
