As an insider for close to 20 years, I have witnessed the best and worst that the financial industry has to offer.

The fact is the vast majority of financial advisors are not obligated to put your interests ahead of their self-interest. This conflicted “advice” leads to advisors steering you into high-cost, poorly performing investments that pay them more, but cost you dearly.
— Kevin Barton, Founder and Managing Principal, Elevate Financial
