Strategic Wealth Partners Joins NAPFA

The Power of Trust

February 3, 2016

Strategic Wealth Partners (SWP) has joined The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA). NAPFA is the country’s leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors. NAPFA’s requirements have been the most rigorous in the industry for over 30 years.

SWP has five NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisors and two Associate Advisors. NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisors have met NAPFA’s requirements in education, training, ethics, and practice methods. In addition to benefits for NAPFA members, NAPFA provides an online platform that assists the public in finding a NAPFA-Registered advisor in their area.

The Importance of Fee-Only, Impartial Advice

Fee-only means the advisor is compensated solely by the client, with neither the advisor nor any related party receiving compensation that is contingent on the purchase or sale of a financial product. All NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisors are required to always work in a Fee-Only capacity. Only a NAPFA professional working within strict fiduciary standards can truly make this claim. The Fee-Only structure is the best way to align compensation with a client’s needs.
