“Great book! Wall Street has made it very confusing for investors to determine who by law must act in their clients' best interest and understand all the inherent conflicts of interests. By reading this book you will know what questions to ask.”
~ Douglas Kobak, CFP®, Principal, Main Line Group Wealth Management, LLC
“This very useful resource contains a large amount of information (such as advisor specialties and types of compensation) that would be difficult for most people to find anywhere, let alone all in one well-written book. It is a must read for anyone considering working with a financial advisor.”
~ Herb White, CFP®, MBA, AIF, President, Life Certain Wealth Strategies, LLC
“Investors often think advisors are the same…the same focus, training, skill sets etc. Investors often don’t have the vocabulary or experience to discern the differences. Deborah Nason guides the reader through a process of matching investor needs with advisor competencies and services. She exposes the reader to many different types of advisors so prospects can gain virtual experience before interviewing their prospective advisors in the real world.”
~ Kathleen Roth, CFP®, CeFT®, Partner, Waterstone Financial Services
