Is It Irresponsible For Boards
Not To Hire A Co-Fiduciary?

The responsibilities confronting board members have never been clearer. They must do everything in their power to understand and manage the risks their organization faces. But what happens when that just is not possible? What happens when the risks are simply too complex for board members to grasp? What happens when they just don't have the skill sets that are required to meet their fiduciary obligations? This is the dilemma faced today by many boards with institutional investment oversight responsibilities. And as more and more funds adopt strategies employing sophisticated, often complex investment techniques and vehicles in new markets, some of which may pose risks that have yet to be fully understood, it is a central dilemma confronting all with an interest in institutional investing and markets. What can be done? Is the only answer to seek a co-fiduciary that has the necessary resources to augment those of the board? Are there other choices? Per David Rothkopf, guest author, this Fiduciary Insight addresses these and other timely questions.
