Many consumers who hire financial advisors may think that these advisors have the legal, moral, and ethical obligation to put their interests ahead of everything else when it comes to delivering financial and investment advice. I think it would be shocking to a lot of these same people when they learn that the large majority of financial advisors don't abide by that kind of obligation.

Many financial advisors are not considered true fiduciaries. They don't have the requirement to put their client's best interests ahead of there own at all times. This can create tremendous amounts of conflict of interest.\\xa0 This conflict can directly affect the quality and appropriateness of the advice and guidance you receive.\\xa0

- What a true fiduciary financial advisor is
- What standards a broker/financial advisor must uphold
- Examples of a broker relationship and a fiduciary relationship
