Financial Adviser Risks

                 

Are financial advisers always working on behalf of their investors?

It appears that they are doing what they have always done in the past; perhaps satisfactory only within certain standards.

                     

Some are still resorting to alternative investments, which are being designed to offset weakness in stocks and bonds. These investments are suggested for clients in the form of currency trading, commodity futures and private partnerships.

                     

However, not only are these securities volatile, they are expensive; though they may prove fine for the advisers.

                                        

Larger accounts are get the use of math models, which don’t always work, and so-called structured products, which gets back to the potential 2008-2009 financial meltdown problems.

                     

With big fees involved, many financial advisers employ risky business as usual. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
