'Raising The Bar'

ADVOCIS is moving to a fiduciary role for advisors who want to use the title 'Financial Advisor.'

The provision of financial advice carries with it an implicit fiduciary role for an advisor.

A professional financial designation is an essential qualification for those who wish to practice as a fiduciary.
