You may be hearing a lot about Fiduciary interest in the news and in communications you are receiving from your current investment firm. This is someone who has a higher standard of care by acting with loyalty, prudence, diligence, skill and care.
Who is a fiduciary and what is their responsibility?
We follow this standard throughout the financial planning engagement. As such, we will place your interests ahead of our own when providing professional services in advisory relationships.
As CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, Carlos Dominguez and Christina Jones, also acknowledge their responsibility to adhere to the high standards of competency and ethics in the CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. The CFP Board’s Code of Standards define specific duties owed to clients, such as their duty to follow a fiduciary standard when providing financial advice. This means they must act in your best interest, placing your interests above that of themselves and our firm. Additionally, they are committed to adhering to the Practice Standards for the Financial Planning Process also documented in the CFP Board’s Code of Standards.
