Independent financial education services provider helps people make better retirement decisions
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Paladin Registry (www.PaladinRegistry.com) a leading provider of independent financial education and services for investors, announced the expansion of its content to include retirement planning and investing information. Paladin Registry has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Week, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and Kiplinger's Personal Finance.
Paladin's expanded focus is intended to reach the 100 million people who use the services of retirement planners and financial advisors to help them invest their retirement assets. These professionals impact when people retire, how they live during retirement, and their financial security late in life.
Jack Waymire, Paladin's founder, said: "There are free services that help consumers avoid buying bad cars. We provide similar services to investors who rely on financial planners and investment advisors to help them achieve their retirement goals. We provide reports and ratings that help investors select high quality advisors and avoid the lemons."
Retirement assets are the largest pool of capital in the U.S. The assets also have very long investment horizons. Consequently, this type of asset is coveted by the financial service industry. Hundreds of thousands of retirement planners, financial advisors, stockbrokers, and insurance agents compete to influence or control the investment of retirement assets.
Waymire commented, "Selecting the best retirement advisor and avoiding bad advisors is much tougher than it sounds. That's because bad advisors use sales and relationship skills to look and sound like good advisors. It is very difficult to tell them apart unless you know what to look for. This is where Paladin can help. We know the critical differences."
Paladin uses a proprietary algorithm to rate the quality of retirement professionals who provide planning and investment services for retirement assets. The ratings range from one to five stars. Planners and advisors must achieve the highest quality rating to be profiled in Paladin's Registry of Financial Professionals.
Waymire summarized, "Paladin's retirement content is not just a repeat of the millions of retirement pages that already exist on the Internet. Our content brings a unique perspective that is a wake-up call for current and future retirees."
