Relationship or Person

There is a fundamental problem in the opening two sentences of this article. The first sentence defines a fiduciary as a type of relationship between two or more people. The second sentence then speaks of a fiduciary as a type of person. Which is it? A person, a relationship, or is the word used either way? If the answer is "either way", I suggest that the text be amended to make that clear. If one or the other, then the incorrect sentence should, of course, be struck. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OldPeculier (talk • contribs) 14:08, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

America

I was hoping to get a list of how the duties arise, but none here. I kinda know the black letter, but hoped you guys had the list. If you wish (after my research) I will post it. The UK Shit is useless in the US, so never use it (a bit of advice). Anyone looking for the US law, go to Lexis. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.9.215.140 (talk) 17:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Should the article address the popular sentiment that fiduciary responsibility leads to amoral or immoral corporate behavior?

Some sources explain fiduciary responsibility as an obligation to favor profit over conflicting good behavior (e.g. environmental stewardship, human rights).

Should the article address this?

For example:

"The legal stricture known as fiduciary responsibility confines all but closely held corporations to this singular goal. By shutting off other values to focus solely on pursuit of profit in inherently amoral economic competition, corporations are by their nature amoral as well."^[1]
