CHICAGO, Feb. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 15, 2012, the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") released its final rule regarding
Investment Adviser Performance Compensation (the "Rule") pursuant to Section
418 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the
"Dodd-Frank Act").[1] The Rule increases the assets-under-management
("AUM") and the net worth thresholds for the "qualified client"
definition.[2] According to Section 205(a)(1) of the Investment Advisers
Act (the "Act"), registered investment advisers ("RIAs") are prohibited from
charging performance fees; however, the SEC provided an exemption under Rule
205-3(a) of the Act, allowing RIAs to charge qualified clients a performance
fee, which is also known as the "Qualified Client Rule."
