Does your financial advisor claim to be "Certified"?
Always double check their credentials to be sure they are certified. One of the true certifications in the financial industry is the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®).
There is no such credential as Certified Financial Advisor & Planner. There are also many "Certifications" which are created by paying a fee and passing a short test.
FINRA.org has a list of accredited certifications recognized as industry standards.
Don't be misled by someone playing on words to appear to be certified. If they are misleading you with their credentials what else are they misleading you about?
