The Investment Adviser Rule refers to regulations governing individuals or firms that provide investment advice for compensation. These rules typically require registration with a regulatory body and adherence to fiduciary duties, meaning they must act in their clients’ best interests. They aim to protect investors from conflicts of interest and unsuitable recommendations.
