Question

What is the difference between a fiduciary adviser and a financial advisor?

Answer

Mercer Global Advisors as a firm is a fiduciary adviser legally held to the highest standard — our wealth advisors must act in your best interests at all times, with a continuous duty of care and loyalty. The term “financial advisor” applies to individual professionals and could include professionals held to different standards — such as brokers regulated under Regulation Best Interest, which applies at the point of a recommendation rather than throughout the relationship. Titles such as wealth manager or investment advisor may also be used regardless of whether the professional is acting in a fiduciary capacity.
