7. Final thoughts

Investing is a numbers game, it is not an art, but it is most certainly science. If you call yourself an adviser or a fiduciary and you don’t have the willingness to understand these facts and to try and to therefore do better for your clients, I really think that you are in the wrong industry. 

Clients, who have entrusted us with their hard-earned savings deserve much better care and attention (and integrity) from our industry than they have received in the past.
