More detail

Some of its people may also act in other roles, such as for a broker-dealer or as insurance agents, where different rules apply. Details below.

The SEC put it this way in 2019: 'Under federal law, an investment adviser is a fiduciary.'

Some of the firm's people may also act for a broker-dealer: 2 staff are broker-dealer representatives. When someone acts for a broker-dealer, a different SEC standard, Regulation Best Interest, applies to their recommendations. Ask which role they are acting in.

17 staff are licensed insurance agents and the firm is itself an insurance broker or agent.
