What Are the Good Anti-Fiduciary Arguments?

 

 

The Department of Labor will soon be implementing a fiduciary standard for advisors conduct who manage money for retirement accounts such as 401k.

There have been a number of people claiming that the fiduciary standard will be a disaster for investors, but I cannot find any solid anti-fiduciary arguments.

So let me ask: What are the strong, logical arguments against mandating the fiduciary standard for retirement accounts?
