DOL Eyes Nuclear Option, Revisits Advisor Rollover Exemptions
The U.S. Department of Labor has indicated it will likely revisit its stance on advisors' fiduciary obligations when they make rollover investment recommendations.
In fact, the DOL is indicating the prohibited transaction exemption called ''Improving Investment Advice for Workers & Retirees,'' or PTE 2020-02, which was approved in February, may be a placeholder while the agency re-examines rollover advice, according to an analysis from Dalbar Inc. The five-part exemption is designed to allow fiduciary advisors to accept commissions and other compensation normally prohibited to them without triggering ERISA violations.

4 Common Mistakes That Could Derail Your Retirement —and How to Avoid Them
This might be the most common mistake investors make—and unlike speculating on individual stocks or sitting on too much cash, it's a mistake that is a little harder to pin down.
When the market was at its most volatile earlier this year, ''investors did not run for the hills but they were making changes to their accounts,'' says Cory Clark, chief marketing officer of Dalbar, which found that nearly a third of investors working with traditional or robo-advisors reallocated their assets during the Covid market crisis.
