Analyze broker-dealer recommendations under SEC Regulation Best Interest's four obligations: Disclosure, Care, Conflict of Interest, and Compliance. Use when the user asks whether a recommendation satisfies Reg BI, what triggers the 'recommendation' standard, how to evaluate reasonably available alternatives, rollover recommendation compliance, dual-registrant capacity disclosure, share class or account type recommendations, or Reg BI examination preparation. Also trigger when users mention 'best interest standard for brokers', 'is this a Reg BI recommendation', 'care obligation documentation', 'sales contest elimination requirement', 'Form CRS delivery', or ask how Reg BI differs from suitability or fiduciary duty.
Identify, disclose, and mitigate conflicts of interest in advisory and brokerage relationships under Reg BI and fiduciary duty. Use when the user asks about compensation-based conflicts, proprietary product incentives, revenue sharing disclosure, principal trading consent, soft dollar arrangements, pay-to-play restrictions, gifts and entertainment limits, personal trading policies, or code of ethics requirements. Also trigger when users mention 'is this a conflict', 'recommending our own funds', 'higher payout on annuities', 'outside business activity conflicts', 'allocation fairness across accounts', 'political contribution to a pension board member', or ask how to disclose or eliminate a conflict.
Apply fiduciary duty standards across the investment advisory landscape, including IA Act Section 206, ERISA, DOL rules, and CFA Institute standards. Use when the user asks whether a fiduciary standard applies, how fiduciary duty differs from Reg BI or suitability, what the duty of care and duty of loyalty require, ERISA Section 404 prudent expert obligations, PTE 2020-02 rollover exemptions, or state-level fiduciary developments. Also trigger when users mention 'are we a fiduciary here', 'best interest vs suitability', 'dual registrant hat switching', 'retirement plan adviser obligations', 'DOL fiduciary rule', or ask what standard of care applies to a recommendation.
