Andew Costa and Grant Conness, Managing Directors of Global Wealth Management, a retirement income planning company, take a hard look at what it really means to be held to a fiduciary standard, versus a suitability standard, and which standard is truly best for the client.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – April 10, 2013 – Andrew Costa and Grant Conness, income planning specialists and Managing Directors of Global Wealth Management, recently published a post on their website (www.globalwma.com) discussing the often misunderstood issue of whether to enlist the services of a Broker/Dealer or an Adviser, depending on whether they adhere to the Suitability Standard or the Fiduciary Standard. The blog post, titled “When Receiving Retirement Advice, Consider the Source: Fiduciary v. Suitability,” explains the difference between the two standards, and states what retirees need to know to make an informed decision.

Costa and Conness write, “What the investing public doesn’t know is that an advisor is either held to a fiduciary standard or a suitability standard, and which standard he or she adheres to makes all the difference in what products they recommend.”

Global Wealth Management specializes in retirement income planning. They provide wealth accumulation and protection strategies that are appropriate for the needs of their clients with personalized service.
