In transit in Munich Airport recently I ran into an old colleague (investment advisor) with whom I had partnered twenty years ago but had fallen out with (I refused to refer a certain client). When he asked what I was up to today, I explained that I am acting as a trustee since 2005. “That is absolutely you” he replied. For trustees and fiduciaries client interest always come first. It is an attitude. Being a fiduciary is simple. It requires adopting a servant mentality and acting as the vigilant protector of the client. Being a trustee is similar but comes with more stringent obligations and liabilities.
