Best Practices for Financial Advisors (Bloomberg Professional Library): Mary Rowland, Michael R. Bloomberg
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Rowland (A Commonsense Guide to Mutual Funds, LJ 5/15/96) aims here at those who provide fianancial advice or manage other people’s money, i.e., “fiduciaries.” He explains where to get the best training, which groups and conferences are valuable for networking, how to handle the press, how to market the services, and how best to charge for services. She gathered this information in teleconference calls with 55 of the field’s best practitioners. It is not enough to be expert in the complex fields involved; the ideal planner/adviser looks at clients holistically, tries to determine their risk tolerance, and avoids conflicts of interest. Although Rowland’s work is directed at a comparatively small audience, the average reader, too, can learn not only what to look for in hiring an adviser but how to be a better client.
