Financial Advisor - Integrity & Concern for the Client

I enjoyed reading about the characteristics that separate top advisors from the rest. In Saly's book, I learned that advisors can be concerned with solving client problems that extend outside the realm of protecting and growing wealth. Lucky are the investors who find advisors who really get to know them, and care about more than their money. This book highlights what investors should look for in choosing an advisor. It also can enlighten advisors on how to better serve their clients.
