Advisors are fiduciaries who help clients navigate the
twists and turns of the retirement path. Through every
stage of life, they focus on the client’s best interests first.
Not only is it their business model, but it is also their
lawful duty as fiduciaries, and they work only for a fee,
not a commission. As fiduciaries, they do not sell prod-
ucts or accept incentives to represent financial products.
This eliminates many potential conflicts that do not
contribute to a client’s financial goals.
