Boston Consulting Group Study, Commissioned by Leading Financial Services Organizations, Analyzes Costs and Funding Needs of Oversight Options; Survey Reveals Adviser Preferences NEW YORK, Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Creating a self-regulatory organization (SRO) to oversee investment advisers (IA) would likely cost at least twice as much as adequately funding an enhanced Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) examination program, according to an independent economic analysis by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In a survey conducted by BCG, more than 80% of IAs said they would prefer to pay user fees to fund enhanced SEC oversight.
A testamentary trust could not deduct all the fees paid in obtaining investment advice when calculating adjusted gross income for income tax purposes, the 2nd Circuit has ruled in upholding a tax deficiency assessment. The trust in this case was created for the benefit of a decedent's surviving spouse and son.

Since credit unions (CUs) can't turn back the clock to market to a relatively homogeneous membership via direct mail and measure advertising effectiveness based on cost per 1,000, they have to come up with new ways to assess the reach and return of new marketing media -- from Facebook pages and banner ads to mobile marketing, or steering members to the nearest branch via their cell phones. One way to get the most bang for your marketing bucks is to target offers accurately to the right members, suggests Dennis Campbell, assistant professor of business administration at Harvard Business School, Boston.
