The fiduciary standard has been bandied about for many years before Dodd-Frank and I think it initial thought was pushed by those licensed as a RIA (Registered Investment Adviser). Those folks felt they were being held to a higher standard. I used to work in Financial Services and some of my friends have warned me that Compliance is considering banning some of my activities (i.e. selling cash covered puts in an IRA). My account is totally self directed, but I was to be protected from myself as that is considered a "risky investment". I have done pretty well with that system in doing it over 12 years on a consistent basis. I was waiting to see what happened and also if I could negotiate an exception but otherwise was going to move my account.
