How banks have created a system that makes you retire with less.
Your advisor is incentivized to sell only the bank’s products.
They’re paid a commission each time those products are added to your portfolio.
Usually, high fee products pay the highest commissions.
The banks also set aggressive sales targets for the advisors.
The targets naturally make your advisor push you towards products that may not be the best for you.
A recent regulatory investigation on the big banks
Found that many bank advisors privately feel pressured to recommend products that aren't always in their clients' best interests.
Most bank advisors are not “fiduciaries”.
Which means they’re not legally obligated to do what’s best for the client.
Next time you speak with your advisor, ask:
“Are you a fiduciary?”
To be fair to the advisors, this isn't primarily their fault.
The banks have created a system where your advisor’s and your best interests don’t always align.
