Working With A Fiduciary is the best way to obtain financial advice.
HSC is a Fee-Only Wealth Management firm. We are compensated only by our clients and accept no commissions or compensation from any other sources. The Fee-Only approach eliminates conflicts of interest between you and the advisor. You always know we are on your side.
That is also the definition of a fiduciary relationship. A fiduciary only recommends what is in your best interest. A fiduciary relationship is a legal obligation assuring you of advice and direction that is best for you.
When a salesman receives front end commissions, back end commissions, trailing commissions, other incentives and vacations from the sale of financial products - you know you are not dealing with a fiduciary.
