Investment Advisors Owe Clients The Highest Level Of Care
Investment advisors must prioritize their clients’ interests above their own, adhering to fiduciary principles that demand transparency, fairness, and diligence. They are required to fully disclose the risks, costs, and mechanics of any investment product or strategy, ensuring clients make informed decisions. Advisors must conduct thorough evaluations of a client’s financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance before making recommendations. By acting with integrity and maintaining a client-first approach, advisors build trust and safeguard their clients’ financial well-being.
Option Trading Can Be Extremely Risky
Option trading, while potentially profitable, carries significant risks, particularly for investors without a high tolerance for risk. Advanced strategies, such as writing uncovered (naked) calls, can result in unlimited losses if the underlying asset’s price moves dramatically against the position. For example, if an advisor employs a strategy like a straddle, which involves buying both a call and putting at the same strike price, the potential for high volatility can lead to considerable losses. Clients must be fully educated about these risks, and advisors must ensure optional strategies align with the client’s financial goals and risk capacity.
