Paladin Registry Awards Five Star Quality Ratings

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 7, 2010 - Sacramento, CA, June 7, 2010. Financial planners and financial advisors do not have audited track records or mandatory disclosure requirements so it is very difficult for investors to determine their quality. Investors have to ask the right questions and they have to know good answers from bad ones. This process is more difficult than it sounds because lower quality advisors are adept at hiding information from investors.  

In 2003, Paladin developed a proprietary methodology for rating the quality of financial professionals. This service focused on information that described advisor credentials, ethics, and business practices. For example, one ethics check is to review the advisors’ compliance records at national and state regulatory agencies. Jack Waymire, president of PaladinRegistry.com announced Linda Laborde Deane, Brad Rosley, and David Hammer have been awarded the Registry’s Five Star quality rating, which ranks them among the highest quality advisors in the country. Waymire added, “In addition to ratings, we also provide online documentation on the Paladin Registry website for these advisors so investors have the information they need to make objective selection decisions.”
