Choosing the right financial advisor can shape your entire retirement. In 5 Steps to Finding a Financial Advisor You Can Trust, Randy L. Thurman explains the questions to ask—and the answers to expect—before trusting someone with your life savings.
The book was inspired by a simple but sobering question:
“What percentage of financial advisors would you recommend to your mom?”

“There are endless ways to assess market data, and unlimited factors to consider. Risk and return probably come to mind, and without a doubt those are critical,” Thurman writes regarding the expanded data. “But when all is said and done, and once all the numbers are crunched and all the spreadsheets have been scrutinized, all that really matters to you is this: You want your money to last as long as you do.”
Retirement leaves little room for error. The All-Weather Retirement Portfolio outlines a disciplined approach to income planning built to withstand market volatility and economic change—using historical data dating back to 1930.
