"Fiduciary Ethos; Living in a Fiduciary World" is superb guidance for any financial adviser serving as or planning to serve as a fiduciary to clients. Whether the adviser is a financial planner, wealth manager or retirement adviser, or whether the clients are retail, institutional, individuals, private trusts, foundations, endowments, or retirement plans, the publication written by Donald P. Trone is a must-read. Perhaps the best feature of the publication, endorsed by the Financial Planning Association (FPA), is that its guidance is grounded upon existing standards and codes promulgated by the FPA as well as the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) Board of Standards.
