Bob Veres
Bob Veres is a long term observer of financial planning. His Newsletter, “Inside information”
Is a staple of leading planners. In the May edition he writes about fiduciary and the Institute.
"But a much bigger point is that the fiduciary standard—as Knut Rostad of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard has pointed out—has been determined by the Supreme Court (1963 ruling) to be at the very heart of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. It is the foundation of what it means to be an RIA registered with the SEC instead of a tipster or a tout."
