Gartenberg brought suit against Merrill Lynch, alleging a breach of fiduciary duty in violation of § 36(b) of the Investment Company Act. Gartenberg argued that this occurred when Merrill Lynch’s fees on its asset management account greatly outpaced the growth of the account itself. The district court ruled in favor of Merrill Lynch. Gartenberg appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
