Fiduciary Oath

The Committee for the Fiduciary Standard believes that investors have a right to know whether or not their advisor is acting in their best interests. For those investors and firms that believe the same, the Committee has drafted a straight-forward oath declaring an advisor’s commitment to adhere to a fiduciary ethic and, in so doing, be accountable for the advice to their clients.

Putting Your Interests First

We believe in placing your best interests first. Therefore, we are proud to commit to the following five fiduciary principles:
  • We will always put your best interests first.
  • We will act with prudence; that is, with the skill, care, diligence, and good judgment of a professional.
  • We will not mislead you, and will provide conspicuous, full, and fair disclosure of all important facts.
  • We will avoid conflicts of interest.
  • We will fully disclose and fairly manage, in your favor, any unavoidable conflicts.
