FIDUCIARY FINANCIAL ADVISER
Harbor Wealth is a Registered Investment Advisor.
Registered Investment Advisers differ from banks, brokers and insurance companies.
Registered Investment Advisers are fiduciaries.
This means they must place the interests of their clients first.
Banks, brokers and insurance companies often use commissions, bonuses, contests and sales quotas to motivate their employees.
This can lead to recommendations which not may not be in the best interests of the customer.
Fiduciaries are held to higher ethical standards, have greater responsibility and are more limited in compensation.
Harbor Wealth is not controlled by any broker, bank or insurance company.
Our only responsibility is to our clients.
