Paladin Registry Completed Background Checks for Three Financial Advisors

July 29, 2010 - PRLog -- Sacramento, CA, July 28, 2010. Too many financial planners, financial advisors, and money managers omit, misrepresent, and exaggerate information when they sell financial advice, services, and products. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain because they make a lot of money if they gain control of your assets. It's up to you to determine if advisors are telling the truth.

If you are like most investors, you are prone to turning your assets over to the advisor with the best personality or sales pitch. However, this is a major mistake. Personalities and pitches have nothing to do with financial competence and business ethics.  

There is an alternative. You can use Paladin Registry’s background check and validation services to determine the accuracy of advisors’ claims before you follow their advice or buy their sales recommendations. This reduces your risk of selecting advisors with the best sales skills and increases your probability of selecting advisors with the best qualifications.
Jack Waymire, founder of PaladinRegistry.com, recently announced that three more financial professionals have completed Paladin’s comprehensive background check processes. They are: Roger Patterson, Steven Landis, and Mark Aldridge.  Paladin has certified the accuracy of key information on their Paladin Registry profiles. Waymire observed, “These financial professionals are rare. They don’t just talk about full transparency to investors, they practice it. Registry certified data provide the information investors need to select advisors with the best qualifications.”
