Finding a Financial Advisor You Actually Trust (And Why It Matters)

May 12, 20261:09 watchFamily & Life Events

Having a financial advisor and having a trusted financial partner are not the same thing. The difference shows up when life gets complicated, whether that is a job loss, a family health crisis, or the months leading up to retirement.

In this Meridian Market Minute, advisor Nathan Gilbert reflects on what a genuine advisor relationship looks like over time, inspired by a client and colleague, Liz Witt-Lee, who recently shared her own 10-year experience working with Meridian. Nathan discusses what clients should expect from a long-term advisory partnership, what fee-only fiduciary means for the advisor-client relationship, and the simple question worth bringing up this weekend: who is your trusted advisor? Whether you have worked with someone for years or are still looking, this video gives you a clear lens for evaluating that relationship.
