Selecting A Financial Advisor
When selecting a financial advisor, like any other service professional – doctor, attorney or accountant – it is easy to feel a bit like you are looking at icebergs, with 10 percent of their attributes above water and visible for you to see and the remaining 90 percent of their attributes below the surface and invisible to you.
There are always lots of differences between best-in-class, run-of-the-mill, and bottom-of-the-barrel. Discerning if a financial advisor or wealth management team can truly provide the wise counsel, leadership, technical competence and managerial responsibility you seek is not easy, but it’s not impossible either.
