On this gloomy Championship Sunday (Who Dey!) we continue our discussion of questions to ask your investment advisor.
This time we talk about the importance of asking your advisor for their various registrations. For example JFJ Advisory Services (that’s us) is registered with FINRA. Our CRD# is 322407.
You can verify our registration yourself at brokercheck.finra.org OR adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching our CRD.
This topic came to mind after watching the Bernie Madoff docuseries on Netflix (I do recommend it). They mention ad nauseum his *unregistered* advisory business. I appreciate them emphasizing this fact to viewers. It is important for potential investors to thoroughly vet their financial professionals.
As they mention in the documentary, being registered puts you under the law’s microscope. It helps keep businesses honest and investors safe. It is for this reason criminals who attempt to defraud investors forego registration.
After you have done some research on us for yourself and verified our registration (as you should with any financial professional you wish to work with) you can click the link below to schedule a free investment consultation. Thank you for reading!
This is part two of this discussion. The first video was published before I got the blog posts working the way I wanted , but you can find the first part (and all my previous videos) on the TikTok account.
