Commission Guidance Regarding Client Commission Practices Under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
"Today, it remains true that, if the conditions of the safe harbor of Section 28(e) are met, a money manager does not breach his fiduciary duties solely on the basis that he uses client commissions to pay a broker-dealer more than the lowest available commission rate for a bundle of products and services provided by the broker-dealer (ie: anything more than "pure execution".)"
