In this Swift Chat video interview, Jonny Swift of Impact Communications speaks with Sam Brownell, CVA, CFA, Founder of Stratus Wealth Advisors, a financial planning and wealth management firm that specializes in succession planning and helping independent business owners maximize the value of their business.
Watch this 20:23 minute video, recorded in May of 2021, to learn about how successful business owners have actually survived and thrived throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and how they've had to pivot to meet new challenges. Financial advisors everywhere are celebrating the new SEC guidelines related to marketing communications. Ho, ho, ho and Happy New Year to all who have been asking for these updates - myself included. Sneaking in right after Christmas and just before a change of administration, the SEC has announced an important rule change that affects all financial advisors. In particular, the SEC has updated a rule that has not been touched in decades and was increasingly out of touch with reality. The change has to do with marketing communications, particularly those through Internet channels.
Sam Brownell, CFA, of Stratus Wealth Advisors, Robert Sofia of Snappy Kraken, and I (Marie Swift) provided comments for Ryan Neal, a reporter at Financial Planning magazine, but not all of them made it into that article so I am including the full comments from the three of us here on my blog because I think these are important distinctions. I'll also include a summary of the new rules below. |
