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.
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.
