INVESTOPEDIA defines Fiduciary this way:
A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person or persons to manage assets. Essentially, a fiduciary owes to that other entity the duties of good faith and trust. The highest legal duty of one party to another, being a fiduciary requires being bound ethically to act in the other's best interests.
We feel strongly in this definition, and work to always adhere to it. We also believe that to be a true fiduciary means more than just saying you are working in the client’s best interest, but teaching clients how to see for themselves what is right for them.
We believe one of the largest conflicts in hiring a financial advisor is when it comes to compensation and the products that are recommended. This is why we have a strict policy of not accepting any form of compensation other than the fees our clients pay us. A few of the examples of compensation we DO NOT accept include free dinners, free/discounted trips or meetings, golf outings, or kick-backs from the product providers.
