This year’s SEC examination priorities focused primarily on Standards of Conduct and whether advisers are acting consistently with their fiduciary duty to clients — exploring duties of care and loyalty, including best-execution obligations. Another area of focus is the recommendation or holding of more expensive classes of investment products when lower-cost classes are available.
How does your RIA monitor for best-execution obligations and consistently act within your fiduciary duty to clients?
