About AUSDAL FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC.

AUSDAL FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC. is listed in our database based on their SEC registration. They are not a fiduciary, meaning they aren't legally required to act in your best interest. This doesn't make them dishonest, but it means they may recommend products that earn them commissions.

AUSDAL FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC. has 1 complaint on file (0.60 per 100 clients). This is above the industry average of ~0.15 per 100 clients — a yellow flag worth discussing with them directly. They earn commissions on product sales, creating a potential conflict of interest — always ask what they make from any recommendation.

One thing to watch: they're affiliated with a broker-dealer, which means they can earn commissions beyond their stated fees. Ask them to disclose all compensation in writing. Bottom line: We recommend interviewing at least 2-3 other advisors in DAVENPORT before committing to AUSDAL FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC.. Their risk profile suggests extra caution.
