The Limitations of a Financial Advisor

January 19, 2021 By David Lunn

Do not get me wrong, financial advisors provide a critical service. What they offer and how it is paid for results in limitations on who and how they can support them. This is borne out by a recent case in my own practice. A teacher in their early 40’s was involved in a serious car accident. The consequence was that they were unable to return to work. The great news was that … [Read more...] about The Limitations of a Financial Advisor
