Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Rowland (A Commonsense Guide to Mutual Funds, LJ 5/15/96) aims here at those who provide fianancial advice or manage other people's money, i.e., "fiduciaries." He explains where to get the best training, which groups and conferences are valuable for networking, how to handle the press, how to market the services, and how best to charge for services. She gathered this information in teleconference calls with 55 of the field's best practitioners. It is not enough to be expert in the complex fields involved; the ideal planner/adviser looks at clients holistically, tries to determine their risk tolerance, and avoids conflicts of interest. Although Rowland's work is directed at a comparatively small audience, the average reader, too, can learn not only what to look for in hiring an adviser but how to be a better client.

Review
This is the best effort yet to put down...the wisdom that has been gathering in the best financial planning practices around the country. If you want to know what some of the most thoughtful practitioners in the profession think about practice management, ethics, marketing focus, regulation, compliance and client relationships, this is the best thing we have in print. -- Robert N. Veres, Editor-at-Large, Dow Jones Investment Advisor, Publisher, Inside Information

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money on this one..., November 28, 1998
By A Customer
This book is mediocre at best for professionals who know nothing about the business--there are much better ones out there. While the information in this book seems accurate, it was very shabbily put together. Don't waste your money on this one.
