Improving Advisor Regulation - TD Ameritrade, Georgetown

August 15, 2011

TD Ameritrade and Georgetown University are collaborating on a study that seeks to enhance investor protection by improving advisor oversight.  They plan to explore and assess proposals for regulating investment advisors and provide a balanced assessment of each option.  

The study will examine 4 options for advisor oversight:

  • continued examination by the SEC.
  • creation of a new SRO.
  • oversight by FINRA. 
  • outsourcing exams to the accounting profession.

The final report should be available by the late summer.  [FA News, 8/10/11]
