Eliot Spitzer's sentiments still linger among high-net-worth investors, according to a new study commissioned by Barclays Global Investors. MarketWatch reports that the study, conducted by Cogent, found that 71 percent of investors believe that fund firms often put their own needs ahead of investors.
