The compensation methodology and regulatory oversight of your financial advisor are not the only thing to consider when choosing an advisor, but they are a very important part of the picture.
You can also click below to find a downloadable, printable questionnaire you can use to ask your advisor or a prospective advisor to complete for you. At the end of the questionnaire is a Fiduciary Oath you should ask your current or prospective financial advisor to sign, showing their willingness to put your interests ahead of their own, or those of their company.
Navigate to the Fiduciary Questionnaire by clicking HERE.
And of course, you can also read more on the topic in the book Jim and I co-authored, The Ultimate Financial Plan, in Chapter 15, “The Gift of Discretion: Choosing a Financial Advisor.”
