| 英文摘要: | In October 2010, the U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration proposed new rule 29 CFR Part 2510, "Definition of the Term 'Fiduciary.'" The primary objective of the Proposed Rule is to protect retirement investors from "self-dealing" — investment advisors acting in their own interests to the detriment of their clients' interests — by financial services firms, such as broker-dealers, and individuals who offer professional advice to retirement investors. This paper reviews and applies microeconomic principles and empirical literature to assess qualitatively predictions contained in two comments to the Proposed Rule concerning potential negative consequences for individuals who save for retirement through traditional and Roth Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These comments argue that — despite financial incentives for advisors to self-deal — advisors rarely, if ever, act on their conflicts of interest because of incentives stemming from competition for clients among broker-dealers and the value to these firms having good reputations. The comments also predict that adoption of the Proposed Rule would harm retail IRA investors because they would receive less advice about what investment products to include in their IRA portfolios, face higher minimum account balances, pay higher fees, receive less help in setting up IRAs, and decrease contributions to their IRAs. The authors then use findings in empirical literature and microeconomic principles to analyze qualitatively how adoption of the Proposed Rule would affect the welfare of IRA investors of different levels of financial capability through effects on four outcomes of concern to them. |
