Compliance for Rollover Fiduciaries

Course Description
Making certain recommendations to rollover retirement plan assets is now a fiduciary act, subject to standards of care similar to that required for investment recommendations. Fiduciary rollover recommendations must therefore comply with the level of prudent practices and documentation that were previously reserved for investments.

This self-study course is designed to give financial professionals and compliance departments an understanding of the regulatory framework related to rollovers, the applicability of the new Prohibited Transaction Exemption (PTE 2020-02), processes and prerequisites, as well as pros and cons of various rollover advice arrangements.
