Fidouchebag

Scenario
Fidouchebag: "Hey, I'd like to help you meet your goals."
Client: "Cool! I'd like to retire when I'm 60, can you advise me how to do this?"
The RegRep
Fidouchebag: "As someone who passed their 7 and says smart sounding things about the markets, you should purchase these commission products and we'll switch in a year or so because there will be a fancy sounding market-based reason that will help you make such crazy high returns."
Client: "That sounds great - I guess that will help me retire..."
The IAR
Fidouchebag: "We personally manage multi-asset class portfolios of publicly- traded equity and fixed income securities directly on your behalf, which is so superior to products because we outperform them. We should manage for yearly fee 100% of your marketable assets because we will achieve better returns than other options"
Client: "That sounds great - I guess that will help me retire..."
The Financial Planner
Fidouchebag: "For an advisory fee, I'll tell you should invest in this or that because it's the next great thing and that you should spend less, save more, and take risk over long time periods because regardless of your retirement goal you can always have more."
Client: "That sounds great - I guess that will help me retire..."
