I would also add to your list of those in support of the existing standard SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar, whose proposal for a fiduciary standard has heavily influenced both fi360 and The Commission for the Fiduciary Standard. See our blog posts from May 26 (http://blog.fi360.com/fi360_blog/2009/05/new-clarity-in-the-regulatory-debate.html) and June 1 (http://blog.fi360.com/fi360_blog/2009/06/rally-around-aguilar.html) for more information and links to Aguilar's proposals, which advocate bringing all provision of investment advice under the standards of the Investment Advisers Act and oversight by a more fully resourced SEC.
