IWI class title: 2027 Regulatory Update on Redefining Fiduciary Duty

Approved Provider of education to IARs as well as CFP, CIMA, & CPA Professionals

Page last updated September 22, 2026

Changes in quarterly disclosure requirements of public companies, as well as private market investments, digital assets are occurring simultaneously with changes in the authority of state and federal regulators. Longstanding protections investment fiduciaries relied on when advising clients no longer hold true. 

Tyler Gellasch, a securities lawyer who helped draft key provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act and later served as counsel to an SEC commissioner, explain what these developments mean for investment advisers and their clients. 

He will translate complex policy changes into practical questions fiduciaries can use when evaluating transparency, oversight, custody, conflicts of interest, investor remedies and the quality of information supporting a recommendation.

This live update gives IARs and investment professionals a framework for distinguishing useful financial innovation from changes that may weaken investor protection. 

As the 2027 regulatory landscape takes shape, learn about new regulatory gaps that create risk and when missing information should trigger deeper investigation as well as techniques to strengthen your duty to show care in fulfilling your role as a fiduciary.
