Marketing under the budget

Your financial adviser, probably, does not operate for the sake of your interests, and you can receive dangerous advice which will dearly cost to you. I shall open to you one secret.

Identical expectations have the majority of the people using financial advisers. They wait, that the adviser will recommend suitable investments, will watch them and will make everything to increase cost of your securities. Whether it be the insurance agent, either the broker or the investment adviser, you think, that it will operate in your interests.

In language of lawyers, it refers to the power of attorney, guardianship. For example, if you issue the credit for the son and will appoint the authorized representative under this credit the authorized representative is obliged to operate in interestsof your son. Otherwise, it is possible to bring an action against them for default of obligations.

The most frequent wrong representation arises, when you think, that your insurance agent or the share broker are trustees. But it not so actually. That is why, following their advice, you strongly risk. If with your actions or other investments something happens, remember, that the agent or the broker always legally.

If cost of yours of the action will fall, and the broker begins to do nothing, it will be your fault. If you have frozen money for 15 years, and you should pay huge penalties to pull out money earlier, it too your fault, instead of fault of brokers!

If your adviser legally is not obliged to operate in your interests, what for by it to do something to improve a condition of your actions? Moreover, the financial adviser receives commission fee from your investments, therefore in their interests to offer you the investment with the highest commission fee, instead of with greater benefit for you.

That is why it is necessary to be cautious when you put investments into bonds which demand high commission fee, and their advisers who legally are not obliged to operate in your interests sell.

From 3 types of financial advisers, only the adviser on capital investments bears the legal responsibility and is the trustee in your financial questions. The adviser on capital investments does not earn commission fee from investments, and earns commission fee from the insurance of products. Therefore to advisers on capital investments pay the small fee for value of your actions, instead of for the size of your investments.

Last years banks and brokerage offices translate the clients from commission payments on steady payments. Even in these situations they legally are not obliged to operate in your interests.

Let’s admit, if your adviser sells to you, it is not obliged to operate in your interests and to do everything, to improve a condition of your actions. Even if your adviser works on a large brokerage office, it does not mean, that these firms bear the legal responsibility for your investments.
