What is the Fiduciary Standard?
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforces a rule called the fiduciary standard of care. This rule says that financial advisors must always put their clients' interests before their own, prioritizing what's best for the clients.
Stan Malecki, AIF® and Eric Stiles, CFP® provide services to our clients that are held to this duty of care, which always puts the client’s best interest first.
As Investment Adviser Representatives (IAR), we are legally bound by federal law to follow the fiduciary standard. This means we must act in our clients' best interest in everything we do. This includes everything from the services we offer to our investment approach and how we are compensated.
Clients can trust that Stan and Eric will give them the best advice and service possible because they are committed to taking care of our clients' financial well-being.
How We Serve You
The fiduciary standard and the suitability standard are two different ways that financial advisors can operate. With the suitability standard, advisors recommend investments that simply match their clients' situation.
The fiduciary standard requires advisors to think carefully about their clients' goals, risk tolerance, and financial situation when giving investment advice.
Stan J. Malecki, AIF® has the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® designation, completed a program at the Center for Fiduciary Studies, and passed his 27 Prudent Investment Practices Examination.
We take part in annual continuing education to ensure we uphold our fiduciary duty in all we do.
We serve our clients by putting their needs first.
