Quick Tips & Guides

Our professionals have spent more than 30 years interacting with consumers, investors, and the professionals you depend on for specialized financial knowledge and services. We have compiled this knowledge into easy to understand Guides that you can read in ten minutes or less.

The Guides on the left-side navigation provide important information you can use to screen, interview, and select quality professionals who provide wealth related services: financial planners, financial advisors, investment advisors, and insurance specialists. Each Guide covers a very specific topic so it may be necessary to read more than one to obtain all of the information you need. 

"When your financial security is at stake you can never have too much information"

The Guides show you how to:

• Select advisors based on objective criteria that include their credentials, ethics, and business practices. 
• Minimize the impact of advisors' personalities and sales skills.
• Save substantial amounts of time because you know how to screen professionals
• Take control of interviews away from professionals
• Save more time because you know what to look for when you select professionals
• Save money because you avoid duplicate advice and services
• Achieve better results because you have a team of professionals working for you
• Save more money because you obtain the services you need from fewer professionals
