We put you first...
In the financial world, there are essentially two types of advisors available to investors: stockbrokers and independent, Registered Investment Advisors. However, most investors do not know the difference between these two very different types of advisors. Only Registered Investment Advisors have a fiduciary duty, that is, a legal responsibility, to act in the best interest of their clients at all times. While stockbrokers frequently provide financial advice, they generally are not fiduciaries to their clients and may not make decisions that are solely in their client’s best interests.
When you hire a financial advisor, you should be protected and free from potential conflicts of interest. You should not have to “guess” at whether your advisor is putting your interests before their own. As a Registered Investment Advisor, our firm has a fiduciary requirement to put your interests first because we are held to the highest ethical standards in the financial services industry.
Similar to other professionals (CPAs, attorneys, physicians), we are compensated with fees for our expertise and knowledge. You are protected and free from potential non-disclosed conflict of interest because the compensation structure for finanical planning and investment management is fee-based and not based upon you purchasing any products.
Without speaking with you directly, we do not have an accurate picture to determine your needs and therefore, cannot assess what your fees might be. Please contact our office for a complimentary, introductory appointment. |
