Paladin Registry Completed Background Checks for Gerald Summers, Steve Robbins, and Scott Holstein

Dec. 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Sacramento, CA, December 2, 2010.  Many financial planners, investment advisors, and money managers use deceptive sales tactics to gain control of investor assets. It is up to investors to determine which advisors are telling the truth and which ones are omitting, misrepresenting, or exaggerating information. This task is tougher than it sounds because financial advisors do not have mandatory disclosure requirements. Paladin Registry makes the task easier by conducting comprehensive due diligence and background checks that validate the accuracy of information that advisors provide investors when they sell investment advice, services, and products.    

Jack Waymire, founder of PaladinRegistry.com, recently announced three more financial professionals have completed Paladin’s comprehensive background check processes. They are: Gerald Summers, Steve Robbins, and Scott Holstein. Waymire observed, “These financial professionals are very rare. They don’t just talk about full transparency to investors, they practice it. Not only do they provide the information investors need to select them, they used a third party to validate the accuracy of their information”.
