Fiduciaries have control over the following three factors: 1) Risk 2) Diversification 3) Fees
Fiduciaries should act prudently and weigh the above issues carefully
in order to construct an “efficient” portfolio. Fiduciaries should develop and maintain proper documentation to
support their decisions. Return Expectations are residual & systematic.
