In Episode #28 of NAPFA Nation, host Marie Swift speaks with Knut A Rostad, MBA, President at The Institute for the Fiduciary Standard.

He underscores the importance of understanding the history of fee-only financial advisory and investment management and how NAPFA members uphold the fiduciary standard. He also shares why he is looking forward to the 2025 NAPFA Spring Conference, happening on May 7-10, 2025, in Phoenix, and more great insights.
