  • Finfluencers - Check with Your Advisor Before Believing the Latest Trend
    2025/06/17

    Raj Shah and Rick Borek of SC Wealth Advisors discuss the growing trend of financial influencers – finfluencers – and why people can be easily misled. They explain how many people online may be getting paid to offer one product and have little to no background in doing so and are getting a commission for offering it. Raj and Rick then share how they have access to a multitude of products and strategies and can tailor those to a specific plan, whereas online advice is often very generic and not right for every person. And they stress to check with an advisor first before committing to something from a random person.
