McCarron adds, “Working with the Estate Planning Team in utilizing this strategy would be classified as an Outside Business Activity under current regulations and we all know how challenging it is to supervise these activities and determine the risk to the firm.” Regulatory Maven brings a depth of expertise to its clients by understanding their business and structuring a compliance program in “plain English.”

Robert Binkele, CEO of the Estate Planning Team, says “We are impressed with Regulatory Maven’s approach to and understanding the various compliance issues relating to our unique product and services. We believe that RegMaven’s understanding of the pertinent compliance issues will permit them to tailor an Outside Business Activity policy which will fit the broker-dealers and RIAs with whom we work.” Robert also stated that RegMaven shares EPT’s vision regarding the benefit of the Deferred Sales Trust™ and its benefit to RIA and BD firms.
