95 Percent of Financial Advisors Give Clients Bad Financial Advice, Expert Says
Personal finance expert reveals insider secrets about the financial services industry, challenging Americans to take control of their financial outlook
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., May 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- If financial advisors are supposed to help their clients make sound financial decisions, why have Americans lost trillions of dollars in the stock market, their 401ks, pension plans and IRAs, in just the last three years?
That's the question posed by personal finance expert Roccy DeFrancesco, the nation's leading trainer of advanced planning strategies. According to him, a staggering number of financial advisors in the U.S. -- nearly 95 percent -- are giving their clients bad financial advice.
"Americans are suffering financially because their advisors are giving them bad advice or simply not disclosing important information," DeFrancesco said. According to DeFrancesco, most financial advisors are more concerned about selling their clients a product or service than they are about helping them achieve financial goals.
"This self-serving approach is very detrimental," DeFrancesco said. "Many advisors are putting Americans' finances at risk and forcing more people to postpone their retirement or seek work during their retirement years."
In his book "Bad Advisors: How to Identify Them and How to Avoid Them," DeFrancesco reveals insider secrets about the financial services industry and provides readers with important questions to ask their financial advisors.
"My goal is to empower Americans to take control of their financial outlook," he said. "Don't be afraid to hurt your advisor's feelings. It's your money and your family's future. Ask the questions you need to ask in order to protect yourself."
