So they finally adopted a fiduciary standard for all CFP's.  Since many wirehouses will not allow their FA's to serve as a fiduciary, won't this negate their CFP credentials?

[quote]The updated Standards will become effective July 1, 2008.

Expect to B/Ds to quickly tell RRs to stop promoting themselves as CFP's lest anything think they operate for the benefit of the public.
