What if I told you the world of providing financial advice has greatly evolved in the last decade? Do you know how it has changed and if you’re still taking an “old-school” approach to planning your finances?

They may say they put your financial interests first, and they may even believe that they are. However, unless they are a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) legally held to a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of their clients, their loyalty may be to the firm they work for, not you. Financial advice is an industry, not a profession. While no one can just call themselves a doctor or a lawyer, the guidelines for who can call themselves a “financial... Continue Reading
