What is a fiduciary and why does that matter?
Listen to the podcast

Joe Beckford is a CFP® professional and he joins The Money Pig Podcast to discuss the question: What is a fiduciary and why does that matter?

What does it mean to be a fiduciary? And, why should you make sure your advisor is one?

To us at Goodwin Investment Advisory, a fiduciary means the client is put first and foremost. The advisor has an integral obligation to make financial decisions and recommendations that are in the client’s best interest. Typically in terms of financial advisors and investors, a fiduciary prudently takes care of money or other assets for another person. But to Goodwin Investment Advisory, it goes beyond this – to act on your behalf, putting your interests ahead of our own, with a duty to preserve good faith and trust. We believe being a fiduciary thus requires us as your advisor, being bound both legally and ethically, to act in your best interest.

What is suitability vs. fiduciary?

The suitability standard requires brokers and investment advisors to recommend investments that are suitable for the client. The difference is that if you follow the suitability standard you are not required to act in the best interests of your client. A fiduciary is required to place the clients’ best interests ahead of their own.
