Obama seeks new rules for financial advisers

By Around the Web

(USA TODAY) President Obama will order the Labor Department on Monday to begin developing new rules for financial managers who handle retirement accounts for working Americans.

The goal is to end “hidden fees that hurt consumers and back-door payments that help Wall Street brokers,” said a statement from White House senior adviser Brian Deese.

Obama will make the announcement during Monday afternoon visit to the offices of AARP, according to the White House schedule.
