Bridging the Trust Divide
This original whitepaper by State Street Global Advisors and Knowledge@Wharton explored key elements of trust in the advising relationship at a time when discussion of these issues was in its infancy. Jim offered commentary on the research findings plus a down-to-earth set of recommendations about the highly-charged area of fee discussions, an area where many advisors fall short.
