If you are apprehensive about hiring an advisor and don’t know where to start, look for a fiduciary. A fiduciary financial advisor has a duty both ethically and legally to put the clients’ best interest before their own by acting in good faith and providing all relevant facts to their clients.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know that your advisor is always acting in your best interest? At The Retirement Planning Group, our entire team takes on a full-time fiduciary role. There are no investment commissions, no backdoor soft-dollar investment arrangements – just honest, transparent advice.
