If most pension schemes were regulated as life insurance companies are today they would not be in business.

Salvaging the sinking boat
A new study published by Spence Johnson has drawn on insight from 46 industry thought leaders to predict futures of the Fiduciary Management model. More here: http://tiny.cc/FiduciaryEvolution
