What is Regulation Best Interest? How Are Brokers/Advisors Liable?

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Regulation Best Interest Compliance Guide,” the SEC created its Regulation Best Interest (“Reg BI”) standard of conduct in 2019, for broker-dealers and their registered representatives, when making a recommendation of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities to a retail customer.

Reg BI requires that financial professionals act in the best interest of their customers when making investment recommendations and requires that they place their customers’ interests ahead of their own.

In order to satisfy the general requirement of Reg BI, broker-dealers and their registered financial professionals must comply with the following four “component obligations”:

  • Disclosure Obligation: Broker-dealers and financial professionals must provide certain required disclosures before or at the time of the investment recommendation, with regards to the recommendation and the relationship between the representative and the customer.

  • Care Obligation: Broker-dealers and financial professionals must exercise reasonable diligence, care, and skill in making the recommendation to the customer.

  • Conflict of Interest Obligation: Broker-dealers and financial professionals must establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to address conflicts of interest; and

  • Compliance Obligation: Broker-dealers and financial professionals must establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to achieve compliance with Regulation Best Interest.

KlaymanToskes can help you determine if your investment losses are the result of your broker/investment advisor’s failure to comply with the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest, and/or other federal and state securities laws.
