Fi360 Conference 2017The Fi360 organization started in 1999 as the Center for Fiduciary Studies, created to provide education around the fiduciary standard of care and how to implement it (which at the time, was primarily in the context of executing fiduciary duty for ERISA plans). Since then, the organization has evolved to include a fiduciary toolkit for financial advisors, the Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF) designation, and more, all housed under the Fi360 umbrella.

Accordingly, the annual Fi360 conference has long been the leading event that gathers together practitioners focused on best practices in executing fiduciary duty.

So for those who are still struggling to understand the longer term implications of the DoL fiduciary rule in their business, or who want to start building towards fiduciary best practices as the rule kicks in, the Fi360 conference is the place to be in 2017. Read More.
