Fiduciary standard drives client trust in advisors: Cerulli research Yahoo Finance | 3/26/2025

A recent Yahoo Finance article highlights findings from Cerulli Associates, revealing that clients are more likely to trust advisors who adhere to a fiduciary standard. George Kinder emphasizes that while this standard enhances trust, it's insufficient if limited to individual advisors. He advocates for a broader application of fiduciary principles across all institutions—corporate, governmental, and nonprofit—to prioritize the interests of all stakeholders, including humanity and the planet. This vision aligns with his "Fiduciary In All Things" (FIAT) movement, promoting a universal commitment to ethical responsibility.
