Frequently Asked Questions
Can financial advisors use client testimonials?

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.
