Just a quick update on what we’ll be discussing at the Sausalito Library on Thursday September 27, 2018 at 7PM.

Please join us to learn about the top 5 things a broker won’t tell you.

Questions are encouraged! We look forward to having an open discussion and educating you on how you can protect yourself in today’s investment industry.

Our discussion will be broken up into 5 discussion topics:

1) Conflict #1 – Fees. What’s the difference between a management fee and a sales charge? Do some brokers receive compensation from the investments (mutual funds, etc..) that they place you in? Is there an inherent conflict of interest.

2) Conflict #2 – Managements and Shareholders – We’ll talk about how interests are potentially mis-aligned when your broker or advisor works for a publicly traded company or a large broker-dealer.

3) Conflict #3 – Legal Obligations and Standards – We’ll discuss the legal requirements behind selling and monitoring your investments and how they differ between brokers and other advice-givers in the industry.

4) Conflict #4 – Proprietary Products – Has your broker been incentivized to sell you products managed at their own firm? Do you know how to figure that out? Come learn the questions to ask.

5) Conflict #5 – True Fee Disclosure – Do you know what you are really paying for your investments?

I look forward to meeting you the 27th. Light refreshments will be served. If you have any questions before or after the presentation please do not hesitate to contact me directly at marc@shorepinewealth.com
