What Is Fiduciary Liability?
Asked by: Sophia N.
Fiduciary liability refers to the legal responsibility of individuals who manage or oversee the assets of others.
These individuals, often called fiduciaries, have a legal duty to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of those assets.
When a fiduciary fails to fulfill their duties, they can be held personally liable for any resulting losses or damages.This can include situations like mismanaging retirement funds, making poor investment decisions, or breaching confidentiality agreements.
To mitigate this risk, many organizations purchase fiduciary liability insurance, which provides financial protection against claims of negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, or other misconduct.
