What does the DOL rule do?
-
Restores 5-part test defining WHO is a fiduciary
-
Restores the 2006 version of PTE 84-24 (Prohibited Transaction Exemption)
-
Creates a new PTE which requires a Financial Institution and compliance with "Impartial Conduct Standards"
What does this mean for you?
If the DOL rule applies to a transaction (i.e. - qualified funds/rollover) and you pass the 5-part test, you will not be able to receive compensation on the sale of qualified fixed index annuities or when funds from a qualified plan or IRA are used to purchase a non-qualified annuity, without complying with a PTE.
