Ensure Your Financial Advisor
Before you invest, make sure your advisor is truly working in your best interest. Fiduciary Check independently confirms whether financial advisors meet the fiduciary standard — transparent, fee-only, and committed to you.
What is Fiduciary Check?
Fiduciary Check is an independent verification platform that confirms whether a financial advisor or Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) operates under a true fiduciary, fee-based standard. Firms that meet this standard earn the Orange Checkmark, a visible mark of transparency and client-first integrity. The verification process reviews regulatory filings, compensation structures, and compliance documentation to ensure the advisor only earns fees from the client, and not investment or insurance companies.
