Who should you trust? Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are required by law to act in your best interest. Winslow, Evans & Crocker is an RIA fully committed and bound by law to that high standard. Their compensation is a small fee based on the value of your account while serving as your investment advisor. RIAs can therefore only increase their income if they are successful in helping you grow your account. Their incentive is to help you grow your wealth; there are no conflicts of interest. By comparison, many other advisors are paid whenever investments in the account are bought or sold, regardless of how well your account performs. Choosing a fiduciary to help you manage your investments ensures that you have selected someone working in your best interest, not theirs.
