Nevin & Fred

Episode 1 - Unpacking the Fiduciary Rule


Listen Later

Join Nevin Adams & Fred Reish for the inaugural episode of "Nevin & Fred: Fresh & Best Perspectives." 

Technically, it’s not a “rule”—but after years of debate, hearings, comments, litigation and preparation, there are some new rules regarding investment advice—and some help for retirement plan advisors. Nevin Adams and Fred Reish take a look at the implications. And have some fun doing it.
