Avocet - Capital Management Home About Us Investment Philosophy Resources Contact The Importance of Independence Today’s mainstream financial services industry is set up for the distribution of investment products, where institutions incentivize advisers to sell products and maintain portfolios that are more beneficial to their firm than they are to their client. Comprised of a sales staff, the employees of these institutions often lack the credentials and experience to properly guide clients through their financial decisions. As a result, client portfolios are often skewed towards the more profitable, but risky, investment vehicles. As an independent advisor, Avocet has the ability to provide objective and personalized advice. The firm takes a fiduciary responsibility to put its clients’ interests first and to minimize the conflicts, constraints and pressures traditional financial advisors face.
