In this episode you will learn: - The two primary components of fiduciary duty for an investment adviser are the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. - The duty of care includes providing suitable advice, seeking best execution, and ongoing monitoring. - The duty of loyalty requires advisers to place client interests ahead of their own and to disclose or eliminate conflicts of interest. - Prohibited practices like front-running, churning, and commingling are strictly forbidden and frequently tested. - Full and fair disclosure of all material facts and conflicts of interest is a cornerstone of an adviser's fiduciary obligation.
