What is a fiduciary? Are you one?
A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of another person or persons, putting their clients' interests ahead of their own, with a duty to preserve good faith and trust. Being a fiduciary thus requires

Bonds), Equity (Stock, ETF and Mutual Funds) and Real Assets (Commodities).
What is your investment philosophy?
