Intermediary Fees: What Today’s Trends Mean for Independent Directors

Intermediary fee practices are evolving, particularly across ETFs and newer product structures, creating new considerations for fund boards.

Drawing on survey data and ongoing dialogues with advisors and intermediaries, the webinar highlights where intermediary payments are changing, where they remain stable, and why these developments matter for comparability, reasonableness, and value‑for‑services assessments.
