Thomas E. Space Has Been Admitted to the Paladin Registry
Gilford, NH (PRWEB) July 24, 2005
Paladin announced that Thomas E. Space has been admitted to the Paladin Registry and awarded a five star rating, the highest rating issued by Paladin Registry.
The Registry is an online service that documents and validates the credentials of high quality financial professionals who rank in the top 10% of their profession. Investors use this free service to find, evaluate, and select advisors who have the knowledge and ethics to help them achieve their financial goals.
Jack Waymire, Paladin founder and author of Who’s Watching Your Money? The 17 Paladin Principles for Selecting a Financial Advisor said this website solves three major problems for investors who rely on financial professionals. “First, advisors don’t have documented track records. They compete with credentials, when they have them, and sales skills when they don’t. Because individuals don’t want sales reps investing their assets, they need a way to select advisors with the best credentials. Second, investors have trouble finding competent professionals they can trust. Advisors who call them are usually sales reps and the professionals who have the knowledge to help them do very limited marketing. Third, it’s not enough for investors to find someone they hope is an expert. They need proof the advisors are every bit as good as they say they are. That’s what the Registry does. It documents the credentials and integrity of advisors, then validates the documentation with a rating.”
Waymire acknowledged that Paladin admittance requirements are designed to exclude bad advisors. His companyÂ’s independent documentation of advisor credentials and integrity reduces the number even further. The result is a directory of high quality professionals thatÂ’s the first to provide the following combination of services:
-High admittance standards that protect investors from bad advisors
-A quality rating for each advisor that validates competence, integrity and risk of bad advice
-Online access to documentation for professional credentials
-Full disclosure for compliance records, compensation, investment expenses, and potential conflicts of interest
-Advisor agreements that put investor interests first
