Course Description

Trustees can reduce their personal risk by creating a compliance library which demonstrates they have fulfilled each of their duties of care under the Prudent Investor Act. Developing this library demonstrates the trustee has acted prudently and in good faith which is a prerequisite to qualifying for the exculpation clause of the state statute. This library will include a series of governance documents which demonstrates the trustee has fulfilled their statutorily defined obligations.

Learning Objectives

  • Review fiduciary duties of care under applicable statutes (UPIA, ERISA, UMIFA).

  • Identify a process for the development and maintenance of a fiduciary library.

  • Share “best practices” for fiduciary governance procedures.

  • Reduce trustee’s personal liability.

Testimonials

Raymond Schultheis (Raymond F Schultheis CSEP CPA)

"More than just the basics, some good examples included. Attendees should know (or at least have a list of) the duties of care in advance of the course to appreciate what is being taught and possibly recognize how trustees they know may have been a little "lean" on their compliance or documentation of their compliance."

About Our Presenter

Anodos logo
Anodos helps trustees (ERISA, Individual, and Endowment) save time, reduce their personal risk, and fulfill their fiduciary duties. We do this by helping the trustee conduct audits of the money managers to whom investment duties have been delegated. We help our clients answer the question "Are the investment managers and consultants as good as they claim to be?" Fiduciaries have an affirmative duty to provide ongoing and independent oversight of the money managers. What makes us unique is that we do not manage money or sell insurance. Doing fiduciary audits, benchmarking studies, and performance attribution is all we do.
