With the Department of Labor’s PTE 2020-02 deadline approaching and the SEC’s Reg BI examinations ramping up, some firms may be tempted to address the regulatory requirements using manual or band-aid solutions.

• Why RFG Advisory shifted from a manual rollover recommendations process to using compliance technology.
• The DOL and the SEC’s expectations about compliant rollover analysis, documentation and investor disclosure.
• How to leverage financial regulations as a core component of your firm’s growth strategy.
