Welcome
 
Greetings!

When it comes to investment recommendations, the SEC holds Registered Investment Advisors (which we at WH Cornerstone are) to a higher standard than traditional brokers. An advisor is required to act as a client's fiduciary, while a broker's advice may be viewed as merely incidental to his or her role as agent for a client. With brokerage firms increasingly pushing their brokers to grow their fee-based business in recent years, the lines separating advisors from brokers have blurred. That said, nothing has changed the fact that as part of a registered investment advisor's fiduciary duty, we must always act in their clients' best interests. We here at WH Cornerstone take our fiduciary duty very seriously. Talk to us about it.
