Yes! A fiduciary is an individual who acts in the best interest of a particular person or beneficiary. Fiduciary financial advisors must only buy and sell investments that are the best fit for their clients. Fiduciaries have a bond of trust with clients and must avoid conflicts of interest.

If you're going skydiving, it helps to know that your instructor has your best interest at heart. You trust that they'll ensure your parachute opens on time and that you land safely on the ground.

Working with a financial advisor may not be life or death, but they do hold the ripcord to your financial future. There's an ethical parachute some financial advisors abide by that helps ensure you stay safely on course: the fiduciary duty.

If you work with a fiduciary financial advisor, it means that they have your best interests at heart — but be careful because not all advisors do.
