On April 4, 2017, the Department of Labor released its final rule postponing the applicability date of its new “investment advice” fiduciary definition and related exemptions. This extension, which was published in the April 7 Federal Register, generally delayed the applicability dates under the rule for 60 days, until June 9, 2017, and also modified limited but important conditions in the rule for 2017.
