Bob Veres

 

Bob Veres is a long term observer of financial planning. His Newsletter, “Inside information” Is a staple of leading planners. In the May edition he writes about fiduciary and the Institute.

It is the foundation of what it means to be an RIA registered with the SEC instead of a tipster or a tout."
