  • Fiduciary Standard

    The fiduciary duty standard is a much higher standard than that of suitability. It is generally considered the highest legal duty one party can have over another. Under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940, Registered Investment Advisor firms must meet suitability standards and fiduciary obligation. They must act with the utmost good faith in their client’s best interests. For example, if the advisor knows of a comparable lower-cost opon, he or she is obligated to select it on behalf of the client.

  • Suitability Standard

    Defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the suitability standard requires that a product or service must meet the standard of being suitable for an investor—it does not have to be in his or her best interest. For example, a brokerage firm is not required to obtain the best execution pricing for trades. It can sell similarly suitable funds that cost the investor more, but provide higher commissions or meet sales production quotas.
