Bronfman E.L. Rothschild Receives Repeat Certification from the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence

    MADISON, WI, March 24, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bronfman E.L. Rothschild today announced that, for the second year in a row, the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX) has certified the firm to its fiduciary standards of excellence. Bronfman E.L. Rothschild is part of a select group of advisors who have completed this independent certification process.

According to CEFEX, its standard describes how an investment advisor assumes responsibility for managing a client's overall investment management process, which includes the selection, monitoring and replacement of investment managers, as well as developing a process to implement investment strategies and fiduciary practices on an ongoing basis.

Neal Simon, CEO of Bronfman E.L. Rothschild, said, "Despite uncertainty around the future of the DOL fiduciary rule, we believe the fiduciary standard underlying the rule is in the best interest of investors and believe it is right for the industry to move in that direction. Whether or not the rule is implemented, Bronfman E.L. Rothschild already adheres to the highest standards of fiduciary care, as demonstrated by our repeat CEFEX certification. We'll continue to abide by and grow our business according to these standards."

The CEFEX standard is based on legislation, case law and regulatory opinion letters applying the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Investment Advisor's Act of 1940, among others. A full copy of the standard can be found at www.cefex.org.
