Technology makes it easier than ever to invest, so what are the benefits of an independent advisor? Experts in almost any industry hear this question regularly and are asked to justify their jobs when technology is making things more accessible. Here, we explain what an independent advisor is and how we add value to your investing.
What Is an Independent Advisor?
An independent advisor is a financial advisor who can offer impartial financial advice free from the influence of certain companies, financial institutions, or services. Therefore, you can trust that the advice is based on your investment objectives rather than incentivized by interested parties.
In Canada, independent advisors have a fiduciary duty to their clients, meaning they are legally bound to put their clients’ best interests first. Your interests and investment goals will come before the independent advisor’s own interests.
