What is 受信义务?
要求代理人（如基金经理、律师或经纪人）始终将委托方利益置于首位的法律义务，禁止利益冲突和自我交易。在迪拜，违反受信义务可能引发民事赔偿责任甚至RERA或DFSA的监管处罚。
Description
A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care in law. When someone acts as a fiduciary, they must put the beneficiary's interests ahead of their own, avoid conflicts of interest, maintain confidentiality, and provide full disclosure of material information. Breach of fiduciary duty can result in legal liability and damages.
Real estate agents: RERA-licensed brokers owe duties to their clients including honest dealing and disclosure
Fund managers: DFSA and SCA-regulated fund managers have explicit fiduciary obligations to investors
Trustees: DLD trustee offices facilitate transactions as neutral parties with duties to both sides
This plays an important role in the overall risk and return profile of a real estate portfolio, particularly in fast-moving markets.

How to interpret
When someone acts as your fiduciary, they are legally required to put your interests ahead of their own. This is a stronger obligation than simply acting fairly or professionally. Before engaging any adviser, broker, or fund manager, understand whether they owe you a fiduciary duty or merely a lower standard of care, such as suitability. The difference is material.
Conflicts of interest are the most common way fiduciary duties are breached. An adviser who earns a commission for recommending one product over another has a conflict. A fund manager who allocates the best deals to their own account before offering them to the fund has a conflict. Asking how your adviser is compensated, and whether they earn more for certain recommendations, helps identify potential conflicts.
迪拜市场背景
The concept of fiduciary duty is more developed in common-law systems than in the UAE's civil law framework. However, DIFC and ADGM (which follow common law) explicitly impose fiduciary duties on financial service providers. RERA regulations create comparable obligations for brokers through licensing requirements, codes of conduct, and complaint resolution mechanisms.
