Question

How do I find a fiduciary financial adviser?

Answer

Start by searching the IAPD database for registered investment advisers in your area. Look for fee-based or fee-only firms, check Form ADV 2A for solutions and conflicts, and interview candidates with a list of questions about their fiduciary status and pay. Mercer Global Advisors operates as a fiduciary and offers complimentary consultations to help you evaluate fit.
