LVIC Economic Outlook – 1st Quarter 2015

No One Cares About Your Money As Much As You Do

As investors, we need to be concerned with the manner in which we turn our monies over to financial advisors to invest for us. Too many advisors simply pile your money into funds, which in many cases, come with high front end load fees that pay the broker a handsome commission. These advisors have little more in mind than to collect those commissions. In 2010 new laws were introduced to stop financial advisors from large front end loads that did not represent the best interests of clients however, powerful Wall Street Lobbyists made sure these laws were not passed. Obama now is leading a ‘paired down’ version of the same laws that were introduced in 2010 and this will take a few years to pass and will meet with much opposition.
