Fees for the Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions to examine investment advisers with assets under management above $20 million were proposed by the Department to cover the higher threshold advisers that will be subject to state rather than federal regulation following adoption of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Another proposed amendment would apply the fee for examining broker-dealer firms to firms that employ issuer-agents.
