The last time the agency issued such a request for information was in 2013, when it collected data and information related to the rules governing investment advisors and broker/dealers. A lot has changed since.

Summary: One of the perks of my position is that I get to spend a great deal of time with high-quality financial advisors. I not only get to listen to some of the best discuss what’s working, but I get to advise many of them as an outsider, one that can be objective and even sometimes “call their baby ugly.” In fact, Raef Lee and I have created templates and workflows for the meetings that are streamlining our conversations and deliverables. (Ok, it was mostly Raef that created the templates – and by mostly, I mean 100% – but I do use them.)
