Fiduciary Standard

Since 1963, the Supreme Court has held that investment advisers owe a fiduciary duty to their clients by operation of law. This is not a marketing claim. It is a legal obligation rooted in Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the Court’s decision in SEC v. Capital Gains Research Bureau.

The fiduciary duty has two components: a duty of care — to provide advice in the client’s best interest, seek best execution of trades, and monitor accounts on an ongoing basis — and a duty of loyalty — to either eliminate conflicts of interest or disclose them fully enough for the client to make an informed decision. These obligations apply at all times, not just at the point of a recommendation.

Brokers are held to a different, narrower standard. Greyfield Capital is not a broker. We are a registered investment adviser, and the fiduciary standard governs everything we do.
