Protecting Seniors and Vulnerable Adults from Financial Exploitation in Investments.

This law allows registered open-end investment companies to temporarily delay the payout of redeemed securities if they reasonably suspect a specified adult (65+ or impaired) is being financially exploited. The initial delay can last up to 15 business days, with a potential extension of 10 business days if suspicions are substantiated.
Key points
Funds can delay the payout of investment funds (up to 15 business days, extendable by 10 days) if financial exploitation is suspected for individuals aged 65+ or those with impairments.
Customers may be asked to provide contact information for a trusted adult who can be notified if fraud is suspected, unless that contact is believed to be the exploiter.
The changes aim to safeguard savings of specified adults but may temporarily postpone access to funds while the institution conducts an internal review.
