Do I need a financial advisor to open an account?
Our accounts are open to any individual whether you’re comfortable investing on your own or have a financial professional investing on your behalf. Sentinel Securities welcomes customers who already have a financial professional assisting them but we don’t require having one to open an account. In addition, individuals who may be looking for investment advice or have not yet sought out the services of a professional can speak to a financial advisor in our network.
Having the benefit of professional insight can be invaluable, especially when it comes to your financial future. Even if you manage your own investments, it’s always nice to have a financial professional to answer your questions if and when they come up. From Wealth Management to help you meet your objectives to Financial Planning for insurance, estate planning and financial needs—a financial advisor can provide a host of services that can be important to your overall plan.
