What Is A Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?
A breach of fiduciary duty generally means that a broker/advisor fails to act in the best interests of a client. Brokers and advisors are expected to place a client’s interests ahead of their own, provide full and fair disclosure, and act with loyalty and care when handling accounts or giving advice.
