Jeffrey Zients spoke about the Department of Labor’s proposed new rules to protect workers' retirement savings. The rules would be similar to but more flexible than a 2010 proposal that was withdrawn by the Labor Department after complaints from Wall Street institutions.

Following Mr. Zients' keynote speech, a panel of current and former regulators, financial officers, and lawyers participated in a discussion about the potential policies.

“Champions, Critics and Consequences of a New Fiduciary Standard” was held at the Bipartisan Policy Center. close
