Understanding the importance of being a fiduciary when it comes to financial advising

When working with a financial advisor, it is crucial to understand whether they are a fiduciary or not. A fiduciary has a legal and ethical obligation to act in the best interests of their clients. However, it is important to note that some advisors may claim to be fiduciaries but may have conflicting interests due to their affiliations or compensation structure. It is advisable for individuals to thoroughly research and interview multiple advisors to ensure they find a trustworthy fiduciary who will prioritize their financial well-being.
