SIFMA provides comments to the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation on Proposed Rule V.S.R. § 8-5, Protection of Vulnerable Adults from Financial Exploitation. SIFMA has been a vocal advocate in the fight against senior financial exploitation for the past seven years, and has worked with multiple states to enact laws which create a voluntary reporting pathway for Broker-Dealers and permit them to place temporary holds on suspicious transactions and/or disbursements to allow time for the state to investigate.
