Fiduciary and Transparency
As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), Hedgeo Capital Advisors, LLC is held to a Fiduciary Standard set forth by the SEC and/or the States in which we serve. See our ADV here on the SEC website. For a more in-depth description of the difference between the Suitability Standard that Investment Brokers are held to and the Fiduciary Standard, read here from Investopedia Suitability vs Fiduciary[1]
"A fiduciary is a person who holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust with one or more other parties (person or group of persons). Typically, a fiduciary prudently takes care of money or other assets for another person. Financial advisors, financial planners, and asset managers, including managers of pension plans, endowments, and other tax-exempt assets, are considered fiduciaries under applicable statutes and laws. In such a relation good conscience requires the fiduciary to act at all times for the sole benefit and interest of the one who trusts."
