Consistent Top Quartile Rankings – ask why?
Asset Class & Volatility Expectations = Risk

Having your own certified financial planner …
Do you own mutual funds already?
Did you know that part of your MER is paid to someone?
Is this “someone” giving you the service you need?
Is this “someone” giving you the advice you need?
Is this “someone” giving you the respect you need?
Since you are already paying “someone” part of the MER
why not put your funds under your own control of who this advisor should be? … Someone who deserves it !
