Fiduciary standards: our obligation

As a registered investment adviser, we are held to a full federal fiduciary duty under the Investment Advisers Act of 19401,2.

This means we are required to act in the best interest of our clients, putting their needs ahead of our own throughout our relationship.

Our fiduciary duty has two core components:

  • Duty of care — We provide advice grounded in a genuine understanding of each client's financial situation, objectives and risk tolerance, and we review accounts on an ongoing basis as circumstances change.
  • Duty of loyalty — We put our clients' interests first. Where conflicts of interest exist, we work to eliminate them and provide clear, specific disclosure so clients can make informed decisions.
