AI Fiduciary Duty Self-Assessment for Investment Advisers

10 questions. Know your exposure before the SEC examiner does.

Principals, CCOs, and compliance teams at SEC-registered investment advisers using AI tools in any aspect of client advisory services, portfolio management, client communications, or suitability analysis.

Using AI in client advisory contexts creates conflicts of interest that are not visible in standard compliance programs — conflicts embedded in model training data, vendor incentive structures, and the gap between AI-generated recommendations and the human fiduciary’s independent judgment.

A 10-question self-assessment with scoring tables for each question, mapping AI tool usage to specific fiduciary, disclosure, and data protection obligations. Includes a rapid assessment for questions 6–10 and a prioritized gap remediation framework based on examination risk.
