Institute & Industry Leaders

 

Chris Cannon, board member of the Institute's Real Fiduciary™ Practices and CFA Society Orlando, interviews Boston University Professor of Law Emerita, Tamar Frankel.

Frankel explains what led her to spend her career focusing on fiduciary law, what it means to be a fiduciary, and what conflicts of interest exist within the advisory space. She then offers her thoughts on what regulators should do to help eliminate these conflicts.

Carolyn McClanahan

 

"With the advent of 401(k)s and the decimation of pension plans to ensure financial security in old age, a fiduciary standard is more important than ever. The public needs to be confidant that advisors helping them plan for their retirement years always and only act in their best interest as a fiduciary. I'm happy to endorse organizations such as the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard that promote protections for those who need to secure their financial future."

- Carolyn McClanahan, Founder of Life Planning Partners
