NAIFA President Testifies On Proposed DOL Fiduciary Rule

In testimony before the Employee Benefits Security Administration of the Department of Labor, NAIFA President Juli McNeely told the panel that the proposed fiduciary rule is unworkable because it could harm the advisor-client relationship and hinder access to affordable advice to smaller- and mid-market consumers and businesses.

McNeely testified on behalf of NAIFA's 40,000 members who primarily serve smaller markets.
