In this episode of “The View from Washington,” Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce and SIFMA Executive Vice President and General Counsel Ira Hammerman discuss Regulation Best Interest. The new, nationwide best interest standard was finalized in June 2019 and imposes a materially heightened standard of conduct for broker-dealers when serving retail clients.

This discussion was filmed immediately following SIFMA’s Regulation Best Interest Seminar, held in Washington, DC on July 10, 2019.
