What is your approach to financial planning?
Pure Financial Advisors is a Registered Investment Advisor offering an innovative business model for financial planning; a model that places the client first by design and eliminates the conflicts of interest inherent in traditional models.
Formed in 2007 by financial services veteran Michael Fenison, every aspect of Pure Financial Advisors is aligned with the client's interests. The hybrid, retainer-based business model overcomes one of the major criticisms of the financial planning industry: a conflict of interest between the client's needs and the advisor's compensation. Pure's advisors are salaried employees who are never compensated by the sale of financial products or asset management fees allowing them to focus on providing the best planning advice for their clients.
