What Does Regulation Best Interest Mean for Investors?
Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI), enforced by the SEC, is designed to ensure that financial advisors like Mr. Iacono place your investment interests ahead of their own when making recommendations. It requires:
- Recommending only those investments and strategies that are in the best interests of the client
- Providing customers with adequate and clear disclosures regarding risks, costs, and potential conflicts
- Avoiding any recommendation that places an advisor’s own financial or business interests before that of their clients
Failure to comply with this rule—such as through the misrepresentation of strategy or omission of critical details—can seriously harm investors, potentially exposing you to inappropriate risks or losses that could have been avoided.
