Co-hosted by the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard and Ropes & Gray at the firm’s New York office, the panel discussion examined the state of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 as it applies today and issues including advisers’ fiduciary obligations and the vital role of objective advice.

Plaze, partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan and former deputy director of the Division of Investment Management at the SEC; and Ron A. Rhodes, assistant professor at Western Kentucky University.
