Registered Investment Advisors
We are Registered Investment Advisors. As Registered Investment Advisors we are held to a Fiduciary Standard rather than a Suitability Standard, and pride ourselves in doing so.
What is the difference?
-
Fiduciary Standard: While acting as a fiduciary, we must act solely in our client’s best interest. We must set aside all other influences and do what is best for YOU. This will minimize any conflicts of interest and allows us to truly choose products and investments that are best for our clients.
-
The “other” Standard (Suitability Standard): Brokers who choose to follow this standard are not held to the same level of commitment to their clients as Fiduciaries. Brokers are able to process transactions that are suitable for the client, but may not necessarily be in the client’s best interest.
