It withholds information so you will <a href=\"http:\/\/iwd.paladinregistry.com\/wall-street\/problem-wall-street\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">buy what Wall Street salesmen sell you<\/a>. Financial advisor reviews have the potential to increase transparency in a way that is not controlled by Wall Street. Therefore, there is a good chance reviews will make selecting financial advisors a more transparent, safer process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Paladin Tip:<\/em> You can be an informed investor if you are willing to commit a small amount of time checking for reviews. An informed investor is Wall Street\u2019s worst nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Empowered_Investors\"><\/span><b>Empowered Investors<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial advisor reviews give you a powerful voice to provide feedback on your actual experiences. For example, a negative review may help other investors avoid a bad advisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Paladin Tip:<\/em> You may be fed up with Wall Street business practices, but you were powerless to do anything about it. Voice your dissatisfaction on the Internet \u2013 the information super highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_Websites\"><\/span><b>Multiple Websites<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is more advisors will have online reviews. The bad news is the information may appear on several different websites. You will have to search multiple review sites to find the financial advisor information you are seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Paladin Tip:<\/em> Very few investors use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.finra.org\/Investors\/ToolsCalculators\/BrokerCheck\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FINRA\/BrokerCheck<\/a> when they vet financial advisors. How many will visit multiple websites to read financial advisor reviews?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Snowball_Effect\"><\/span><b>The Snowball Effect<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are almost 700,000 financial advisors, financial planners, and stock brokers in the U.S. Less than 1% has been reviewed online. And, how valuable are a couple of reviews if one is positive and one is negative?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Paladin Tip:<\/em> You have to start somewhere. It will take time before the snowball begins rolling down the mountain and there are multiple reviews for hundreds of thousands of financial advisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Risk_of_Manipulation\"><\/span><b>The Risk of Manipulation<\/b><b>&nbsp;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEC has published a number of rules that are supposed to prevent the manipulation of reviews. For example, advisors are not supposed to encourage friends and family to post positive reviews. The SEC can publish rules, but it does not have resources to enforce them. You should assume lower quality advisors will find a way to game the system. Consequently, you should pay less attention to positive reviews and more attention to negative reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Paladin Tip:<\/em> If all of an advisor\u2019s reviews are positive and language in the reviews is similar, there is a good chance the advisor created the reviews and asked friends and family to post them. Negative reviews help you avoid bad guys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/blog\/author\/jack-waymire\/\">Jack&nbsp;Waymire<\/a> worked in the financial services industry for 28 years before he left to found the Paladin Registry (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.PaladinRegistry.com<\/a>) in 2004.
