Michael Croce of Creative Planning Reviews

DID MICHAEL DOMINIC CROCE CAUSE YOU INVESTMENT LOSSES? Michael Croce Customer Complaints and Reviews Customer Dispute (January 9, 2017): Allegations Against Michael Croce A written complaint was filed against Michael Croce while he was associated with Vanguard Advisers, Inc. The client claimed that the financial plan caused significant financial loss. The firm found no issues with the advisor’s recommendations, which adhered to its investment principles. Michael Croce Employment History Employment History: Exams Passed: Investment Advisors Owe Clients The Highest Level Of Care Investment advisors must adhere to fiduciary duties, prioritizing their clients’ best interests in all recommendations and actions. This obligation includes a duty of care, requiring advisors to perform comprehensive due diligence and offer advice suitable to the client’s financial goals and risk tolerance. Advisors must also provide full disclosure about investment strategies, risks, and potential conflicts of interest. Acting in good faith and maintaining transparency is critical to establishing trust and ensuring client protection. Option Trading Can Be Extremely Risky Options trading is inherently risky, especially for clients who authorize advisors to execute complex strategies. Strategies such as naked options or straddles expose investors to substantial losses due to market volatility. For instance, a naked call involves selling an option without holding the underlying asset, risking unlimited losses if the market moves adversely. Clients should thoroughly understand the risks and ensure their risk tolerance aligns with such strategies before allowing advisors to trade options in their accounts. Michael Croce Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor Of course, Michael Croce did not admit to any of the allegations.
