Don't settle for the following from an investment advisor:

• Lack of reporting and transparency
  
• Limited access to your funds
  
• Ambiguity about who is responsible for investment decisions
  
• Paying high or hidden fees

Expect complete transparency.

Wall Street thrives on misleading well-meaning investors into advisory services that lack transparency in fees, performance, and manager qualifications. Even more, not all advisors are held to uniform standards—leading to uncertainty and possibly diminished returns. Understanding the different types of advisors is essential to avoiding costly errors and ensuring the best guidance.

Bottom line: It's essential to partner with a fiduciary who’s dedicated to prioritizing your financial well-being and best interests with complete clarity.
