Paladin Registry Awards Five Star Quality Ratings to Three Financial Planners and Financial Advisors

Print  | 

     

     

Financial planners and financial advisors do not have audited track records or mandatory disclosure requirements. Consequently, it is very difficult for investors to determine their competence and trustworthiness before they select them. This unfortunate reality creates a major financial risk for investors and the less they know about advisors the bigger the risk.

Starting in 2000, Paladin (www.PaladinRegistry.com) developed a proprietary methodology for rating the quality of financial planners, advisors, consultants, and money managers. Its analysis reviews information that impacts the professionals’ credentials, ethics, and business practices. For example, one Paladin rating step is to review advisors’ compliance records at national and state regulatory agencies.

Jack Waymire, founder of PaladinRegistry.com announced “Randall Griggs, Larry Soukup, and Jeffrey Camarda have recently been awarded the Registry’s highest quality rating (five stars).” Waymire observed, “In addition to quality ratings, we also provide online documentation for each advisor that is based on the information that we used to screen and evaluate the advisors.”

Randall Griggs (Charlotte, NC) has worked in the financial services industry for 35 years. He received a BA degree in Management from Golden Gate University, holds CFP® and AAMS® designations, and is an acknowledged fiduciary. Griggs provides planning and investment services to individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit organizations.

Larry Soukup (Salida, CO) has worked in the financial services industry for 32 years. He received BBA and MBA degrees from the University of Iowa, a JD degree from Drake University and is a Certified Public Accountant™. Soukup owns his Registered Investment Advisory firm and he provides planning and investment services for fees to individuals, families, businesses, and corporations.

Jeffrey Camarda (Fleming Island, FL) has worked in the financial services industry for 23 years. He received a BS degree from State University of New York and he holds several industry certifications including CFA®, CFP®, ChFC®, and CFS®. He provides planning and investment services to individuals, families, and businesses in Central Florida.
