In this way, the relationship summary was designed to reduce investor confusion in the marketplace for brokerage and investment advisory services and otherwise assist investors when they work with financial professionals. The relationship summary promotes transparency and better-informed decision making, through clear, concise disclosures, and by summarizing in one place selected information about a particular firm. Both broker-dealers and investment advisers must provide to retail investors a relationship summary containing plain English disclosures on the same topics under standardized headings in a prescribed order, allowing retail investors to more easily compare different firms’ services, fees, and other important information.
