At this point, no one knows exactly what the rule is going to look like however, ECA Marketing has brought together a team of knowledgeable industry leaders that will provide an insider's look at the rule as it stands today and give their professional perspective on the rule's effect on the future of the industry, the consumer and the advisor.

The speakers assembled include the Executive Director of NAFA, an Attorney (involved in the current court case), a representative from a B/D, a representative from an RIA, several Top Annuity carriers and, President of ECA Marketing, Inc., Joe Spillman.

Topics will include understanding the new rule, defining the fiduciary role, how the rule will affect businesses and the financial risk that may be evident once the rule goes into effect. More about the rule and how it can affect those in the industry can be seen at http://public.ecamarketing.com/.
