How We Score Advisors

Every advisor firm registered with the SEC must file Form ADV — disclosing their fees, conflicts of interest, disciplinary history, and business practices. We parse these public filings and present them in plain English.

Red Flag Score (0–100)

Every firm starts at 100. Deductions are applied for risk factors:

  • -15 per disciplinary event
  • -10 per customer complaint
  • -5 for broker-dealer affiliation (conflict of interest)
  • -5 for custody of client assets
  • -5 for fees above 90th percentile
  • -3 for insurance licensing (potential annuity pushing)
85-100: Clean 65-84: Some Concerns 0-64: Multiple Red Flags
