92 posts
The DOL Fiduciary Rule is a U.S. Department of Labor regulation that requires financial advisors and brokers who provide investment advice on retirement accounts (like IRAs and 401(k)s) to act in their clients’ best interests. It expands the definition of “fiduciary” under ERISA, aiming to reduce conflicts of interest, increase transparency, and protect investors from biased advice driven by commissions or fees.
