Waymire added, “Selecting a high quality financial professional sounds easy, but it is not. First, all advisors claim to be ethical financial experts, whether it is true or not. This claim helps them sell investment products. Second, the claims are made in sales pitches so investors have no record of what was said to them. This opens the door to omission and misrepresentation. And third, it is easy for advisors to use deceptive sales practices because they do not have mandatory
disclosure requirements. Watchdog creates disclosure that helps investors select and retain advisors with the best qualifications and results, not the best sales pitches.”
