Third Party Fiduciaries: Separating Myth from Reality (PDF)

[Opinion]
Jan. 17, 2013
"These [Third Party Fiduciary] arrangements are set up by companies that provide their own money management -- typically Insurance Companies or Mutual fund companies. They do this because they want to offer a fiduciary service in their product that makes them more marketable.
