Our Research Roundtable
To assist Fiduciary Wealth Partners in evaluating investment research and creating thought leadership, we have contracted with independent academics and wealth management professionals to form what we call our Research Roundtable.
Research Roundtable Fellows meet with FWP on a regular basis in a round table format, where investment debate is encouraged.
Through our work with these Fellows, we strive to provide transparency into timely issues and ideas that are impacting the industry. By contracting with a group of independent professionals, we strive to improve our thinking and enhance outcomes by considering the thoughts of experienced academic and industry professionals who offer us diverse perspectives.
Examples of the thought leadership and research that our Research Roundtable has helped FWP produce can be found on our Insights and Research page.
