Transparency allows the consumer to decide if the services and fees offered by the financial advisor are fair and logical, and if it is in their best interest to work with that advisor. Disclosures can be about if they have committed a crime, whether financial or not. Ethics matter. Always verify in writing.

I’m presenting text for the home, about, and fees page because those are the pages on a website that get the most traffic generally. Before we get into it, I’m assuming you’re visiting this page because you are a flat fee financial advisor. Because transparency in financial advice is awesome! Transparent Advisor Movement.

Sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter allow advisors to share valuable content, engage with followers, and show their expertise in the financial industry. When financial advisors share helpful articles, blog posts, and videos on social media, they can show their knowledge and give good financial advice.

To see this term blurred with the top advisor definition, it makes me mad because it implies that advisors who are selected on the basis of production – and this gives me the sense that this ranking had a lot to do with precisely that – are the best financial advisors. Selling a product does not equal financial advice.

I have this one-hour presentation I do on money. That led to the next three or four years of learning how to sell, how to create value, and not worry about selling out, but do it in a very ethical way. RITHOLTZ: That’s more counseling than it is financial advice. No kidding. And they would never show up.

Salaske: Yeah, I don’t agree with the CFP Board becoming any type of regulator whatsoever over financial advisors, financial planners, whatever you wanna call us in the advice space. S2: I do wanna take the chance to argue towards that solution, because if we look at the SEC’s efficacy.

Get ready for a ride as we examine it from all angles: regulatory, ethically, intellectually, etc. The debaters include: Robert Wright, CFP®, a financial consultant with Advocacy Wealth Management. Wright retorts back that restrictions don’t necessarily mean higher ethical standards.
