A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties (person or group of persons). One party acts in a fiduciary capacity to another party, who has entrusted funds to the fiduciary for safekeeping or investment management.
Corporate Trustees such as Bank Trust Departments, Financial Advisors, and Financial Planners are considered fiduciaries under applicable statutes and laws. In such relationships, good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times, for the sole benefit and interest of the ones who trust.
The duties of a fiduciary include loyalty and reasonable care of the assets within the account relationship. All of the fiduciary’s actions are performed for the advantage of the beneficiary and must be free of conflicts of interest and self-dealing.
