Interesting, thanks for the correction. Do you know if this varies by jurisdiction, or is it pretty much universal?



You know what, beatle is right, I'm wrong. Not sure when or how I developed the misconception, but I'm sorry for speaking outside my area of expertise and blowing it.


Sorry, I don't know. I think that's the case for all public companies in the US, at least (I don't know if it applies to limited parterships, private corporations, s-corporations, etc). I searched to confirm CEOs were not necessarily fiduciaries before I posted, and I did see that officers could be fiduciaries (eg, for internally managed pension funds - though it didn't have to be the CEO).
