Recommendations for wealth management firms

Seeking a wealth management firm that can guarantee optimal financial, tax, and estate returns is what I am looking for. In a recent discussion with Fidelity, I felt that rather than them providing proactive assistance, it was my responsibility to ask the correct questions and find the proper answers. Does anyone know of a company that offers more in-depth, practical advice?

Fidility can introduce wealth management, nevertheless, you must have a sizable balance under Fidelity or the brokerage where you keep your money. I don’t think CPF is qualified to analyze estate and tax laws. Most talk more than they really do.

What you are looking for is an advisor who is a fiduciary. They are required to act in your best interest. Make sure to hire one only if they have a designation such as CFP, CPA, CFA, etc.
