I've been in this business for almost two
decades. It's a privilege to be in a position to have such a positive effect on
my client's lives. The greatest contribution I can make is to act as filter
between my clients and the nonsense that permeates the financial press and
retail investment advice.
As an independent professional, my sole
commitment is to you. I have no conflict of interest. When I select a custodian
for your assets, it's because they're one of the best in the world. When I
select an asset management strategy, it's because it's best for you. Most
importantly, when we create an investment policy statement together, it will be
tailored to your individual needs utilizing proven strategies that focus on
building your wealth and not Wall Street's.
The greatest threat to your financial
well-being is the self serving advice that is so prominent today. The biggest
name on Wall St. has just been fined 100 million dollars for recommending
stocks to the public while "internal" memos from the same analyst reveal
they're no good. Unforgivable but not uncommon.
Retail brokerage firms are being raked over
the coals by Congress for selling you up the river in favor of the huge
investment banking fees which required a "buy" rating regardless of investment
merit. At the peak of the market there were 70 buy recommendations for every 1
sell recommendations. Institutional investors have been ignoring this nonsense
for many years. So must you.
