Disclaimer: ARQ Wealth Advisors, LLC is a member of the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard. Membership is comprised of a set of principles that underscore an advisor’s fiduciary duty to his or her clients. These standards include sufficient loyalty, due care, and utmost good faith. Specifically, our firm must demonstrate loyalty by: (i) affirming their fiduciary commitment to the client in writing; (ii) declining any sales-related compensation associated with transactions and product sales; (iii) avoiding conflicts of interest whenever possible; and (iv) mitigating unavoidable conflicts. Advisors must also act with due care by maintaining professional designations as applicable, by explaining agreements and disclosures orally and in writing, by establishing a reasonable basis for investment advice, and by following and documenting a prudent due diligence process for rendering investment advice. Our advisors must act in the utmost good faith by declining substantial gifts or entertainment provided by the client while charging, disclosing, and explaining reasonable fees.
