What Is a Fiduciary?

What is a fiduciary? This is a question that Richard Oring is frequently asked by his clients at New Century Financial Group.   When looking for an advisor, it's an important question to ask.

A fiduciary is an individual or organization legally required to manage a person's assets for that person's benefit, not their own.   Being a fiduciary means a financial advisor is held to a higher standard when making decisions for his or her clients.

Fiduciaries must follow "duty of care" and "duty of loyalty" - Rich explains what these terms mean and entail.

It's also important to understand how your financial advisor is compensated - are the commission only, fee only, or fee-based (a combination of the two)?

The important thing to remember when looking for a financial advisor is to ask questions.  This can be a confusing field, but your future is too important to simply make assumptions.  And a good financial advisor will make sure your questions are answered.
