GreatDane Investment is a fee-only firm.

Yes, GreatDane Investment and its advisers are fiduciaries. A fiduciary is a principled professional required by law to uphold the highest level of ethics and trust. A fiduciary adviser does not sell products or receive sales commissions. This standard of practice eliminates conflicts of interest, provides complete transparency and enables unbiased recommendations that are always in the best interest of clients.

A Registered Investment Adviser is licensed with federal and state regulatory agencies to provide investment advice and is legally obligated to always act in the best interest of its clients.

A dual purpose corporation that buys and sells securities for its own account, but also acts as an adviser for customer accounts. These companies may also sell and distribute its own proprietary products.
