Hensarling is the incoming chair of the House Financial Services Committee. Borzi is assistant secretary for the DOL’s Employee Benefits Security Administration.
Departures that will have an impact include that of Barney Frank (D-MA) who co-authored the Dodd-Frank Act and Maxine Waters (D-CA) who introduced a user fees bill last year to stymie the self-regulatory organization (SRO) bill put forth by Rep. Spencer Bachus.
Hensarling stated that he considers his new role to be that of regulating the regulators. Word is that he will put the SRO bill on the back burner but FINRA is likely to continue to push for the legislation.
Borzi is newly reappointed for four more years in her position. The greatest impact on advisor businesses may come from the EBSA’s revision of the definition of a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
The SEC’s Walter will face deadlocks from a 2-2 split of commissioners as she faces clear opposition from the two Republicans. So it will be difficult for her to gain a majority for any of the rule-making proposals still on the table.

It is not possible for me to overstate the cumulative value that Craig and Fritz have added for over 10 years to my investment advisory practice, as well as for personal and family financial planning. A4A gets my highest recommendation

I’ve subscribed to A4A since its inception, and always find it intellectually stimulating and on point. It’s one of the few CE solutions out there that doesn’t waste my time by pushing product or talking down to me.

| A4A has had a profound effect on my business. Since 2009, I’ve relied on the consistent messaging and updates to run my business successfully. Being able to present the information from Fritz, and Craig's ongoing CE webinars has been a significant benefit. |

| I've been a financial professional and professor of finance for 35 years and find Fritz Meyer to be among the most engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and experienced presenters I’ve encountered. They deliver an extraordinary amount of information in an extremely interesting way — sequentially and developmentally, utilizing pedagogical tools and techniques that few possess. A4A to is the most consistently excellent CE program available. |

| I’ve been attending A4A many years because the CE classes are outstanding, and my time is valuable. Though I have over 35 years of experience, I’m always learning something new on A4A. I attend fewer conferences now because the CE is generally not advanced. If you want to learn from the best, in a faster, easier, and less expensive way, I highly recommend A4A. |

I wouldn't miss a Fritz Meyer webinar unless my pants were on fire. I've relied on Andrew Gluck's knowledge systems --client communications and CE -- for two decades. It's simply the best solution for tax, financial, investment, and risk-management professionals.® |

A4A, for over a decade, has been a great resource for useful and accurate information and CE. A4A and Advisor Products are bargains for an advisory practice. |
