Fiduciary Responsibility
At Greater Promise Financial,LLC, A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care one party can owe to another. When it comes to an investment advisor, being a fiduciary means that we are legally and ethically bound to act in the best interests of our clients. This duty requires us as advisors to prioritize our clients' interests above our own and to provide advice and recommendations that are solely aimed at benefiting our client.
Here's a breakdown of what being a fiduciary entails for an investment advisor:
- Putting Clients First: A fiduciary investment advisor must always prioritize the best interests of their clients when making recommendations or managing their investments. This means recommending investments that are suitable for the client's financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives, rather than ones that may generate higher commissions or fees for the advisor.
- Avoiding Conflicts of Interest: Fiduciary advisors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from their recommendations or business practices. They are required to manage these conflicts in a way that ensures they do not interfere with their ability to act in the client's best interests. If a conflict cannot be avoided, it must be fully disclosed to the client, who can then make an informed decision.
- Acting with Prudence: Fiduciary advisors are expected to exercise diligence, care, and skill in managing their clients' investments. This includes conducting thorough research, monitoring the performance of investments, and adjusting strategies as needed to adapt to changing market conditions or client circumstances.
- Providing Full Disclosure: Fiduciary advisors are obligated to provide clients with all relevant information about their services, fees, compensation structure, potential conflicts of interest, and any other factors that may impact the client's investment decisions. This transparency enables clients to make informed choices and understand the implications of their investment decisions.
Integrity, Honesty, and Loyalty
