Advertising and Testimonials—New SEC Marketing Rule, New Frontiers for Advisor Marketing

Description
The SEC has finalized important rules changes governing how advisors can use advertising, testimonials, and third-party ratings to market their services. The new rules are the first major update in nearly 60 years and are designed to reflect changes in technology and expectations of investors seeking advisory services, as well as evolving industry practices. Together, they represent a new frontier for advisor marketing.
Please join us for an overview of the new SEC’s Marketing Rule. Take this opportunity to learn about its provisions, the important implementation timetable, and its likely impact on your firm. Also, come share your perspective and hear from others on how they are addressing these rules changes.
