Long anticipated, much needed, The New Fiduciary Standard walks professionals you through an organized process for making informed, consistent, and defensible investment decisions.
"The New Fiduciary Standard helps fiduciaries understand the practical application of their duties, provides a range of reference materials, encourages fiduciaries to adhere to a higher standard, and breeds a high expectation for achievement for both fiduciary and their client."
