Question

How do I verify if my financial advisor is a fiduciary?

Answer

Investment Adviser Representatives are fiduciaries; you can determine if your financial advisor is an investment adviser representative through the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website at adviserinfo.sec.gov. Search by the advisor’s name to view their information and IAPD detailed report. You can also request the advisor’s Form ADV 2B which discloses registration status, services, fees, conflicts of interest, and any disciplinary history. Ask them to walk you through it before you commit.
