The fourth edition of the Rebuilding Investor Trust study, which tracks the mindset and behaviors of affluent households, reveals advisory firms and financial professionals have gone a long way to regain trust and strengthen client satisfaction.
But despite a more positive market environment and strong advisor evaluations, there’s another side of reality. Insights from the latest Rebuilding Investor Trust study reveal:
