Tittsworth Wins Fiduciary of the Year Award
May 01, 2014At fi360's annual conference last week, David G. Tittsworth, executive director of the Investment Adviser Association, was named Fiduciary of the Year by the Committee for the Fiduciary Standard.
Mr. Tittsworth is being honored as one of the most articulate and instrumental voices in favor of the fiduciary standard of care for investment advisers, including the importance of maintaining the SEC’s primacy in regulating investment advisers. His June 6, 2012 testimony to the House Financial Services Committee, in particular, is perhaps the clearest and most comprehensive explanation of why a self-regulatory organization for investment advisers is not in the best interests of investors or for effective oversight of investment advisers.
The award was established in 2011 to recognize the person who has made outstanding contributions to advance the vital role of the fiduciary standard in serving the best interests of investors and restoring trust in the capital markets and those who provide investment advice. Previous winners include W. Scott Simon, Ron Rhoades, and Eugene Maloney.
fi360 CEO Blaine Aikin is a founder of the Committee and serves on its Steering Committee.
