About the Frankel Fiduciary Prize

The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard established the Frankel Fiduciary Prize to honor individuals who advance fiduciary principles. The Frankel Fiduciary Prize will be awarded annually to a person who has made significant contributions to the preservation and advancement of fiduciary principles in public life. The prize is named after Professor Tamar Frankel of the Boston University School of Law. The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard announced the Frankel Fiduciary Prize Symposium and the host committee will honor Robert A. G. Monks, the first Frankel honoree, at a Symposium in Washington on December 10.

About Robert Monk

Robert A. G. Monks was appointed a founding trustee of the Federal Employee Retirement System by President Reagan, and also served in the Department of Labor, as Administrator of the Office of Pension and Welfare Benefit programs. He also was a founder of Institutional Shareholder Services, and co-founded The Corporate Library (now Governance Metrics International.) Monks found the Hermes Lens Fund, and has served as a director of twelve publicly traded companies. Monks has authored or co-authored eight books, published more than a hundred papers, and, with Nell Minow, published five editions of CORPORATE GOVERNANCE. He was the recipient of the Award for Outstanding Financial Executive from the Financial Management Association in 2007. The New York Times profiled Monks earlier in July.

Symposium speakers Bob Monks, Ralph Nader, Knut Rostad and Jack Bogle offer their candid remarks on fiduciary status in 2013, regulatory shortcomings, and corporate governance.

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
