What Is A Breach Of Fiduciary Duty?
A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a financial advisor fails to act in the best interests of a client. Advisors are expected to provide suitable recommendations, disclose conflicts of interest, and prioritize the client’s financial goals. When they do not meet these obligations, it may lead to financial harm for the investor.
