The SEC’s Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes a “best interest” standard of conduct for broker-dealers and associated persons when they make a recommendation to a retail customer of any securities transaction or investment strategy involving securities, including recommendations of types of accounts. As part of the rulemaking package, the SEC also adopted new rules and forms to require Broker-Dealers and investment advisers to provide a brief relationship summary, Form CRS. Broker-dealers are also required to provide the more detailed disclosures found in the Reg BI Disclosure booklet, while Investment Advisors are required to provide their Form ADV. Chelsea separately requires the Form CRS Client Acknowledgement Letter to be signed and returned with all new account applications indicating clients have received the aforementioned disclosures.
