Dear
NAIFA Members,
Does
it sometimes feel like you’re in the crosshairs? Attacks on Financial Advisors
and misrepresentations about the kinds of work you do for your clients seem to
be coming at an ever quickening pace.
We
have critics in many corners, whether it’s President Obama infamously railing
against “snake oil salesmen,” a current series on
National Public Radio questioning the value of Advisors, or the Department of
Labor swatting a gnat with a sledgehammer in the form of its thousand-page
fiduciary proposal (which, by the way, in printed form may weigh as much as a
sledge hammer).
Fortunately,
as always, NAIFA has your back! Our advocacy team and grassroots
organization are hard at work, educating members of Congress and federal
regulators about the good work you do for your clients. We have produced
materials like our “Securing
America’s Future” report that explain to regulators, lawmakers, the media
and the public how NAIFA members provide undeniably valuable products and
services to their clients.
