Frequently Asked Questions
Can financial advisors use client testimonials?
Yes. The SEC's updated marketing rule (effective November 2022) now allows investment adviser testimonials and endorsements with proper disclosures. Check current FINRA and SEC rules for your specific situation.
What disclosures do financial advisor testimonials need?
Generally: whether the person is a current client, whether they were compensated, and a statement that the testimonial may not be representative of all clients' experiences. Consult your compliance team for specifics.
What should financial testimonials focus on?
The advisor-client relationship: trust, communication, education, long-term planning, and peace of mind. Avoid mentioning specific returns or performance figures in testimonials.
