Fiduciary Glass Jacobson

Glass Jacobson has renewed its investment advisor certification with the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence, CEFEX, for another year. An Fi360 company, CEFEX certifies investment advisory firms that meet verified standards of integrity, trust, client satisfaction, and transparency. These standards include criteria that have been defined in collaboration with leading firms in the financial industry and those defined by regulation.

Trusting a CEFEX-certified firm like Glass Jacobson with your investments means you will be dealing with people who operate at the industry’s highest ethical standards, and who are dedicated to safeguarding your interests.

To be certified by CEFEX, a business must complete a standards-based assessment and undergo an independent annual audit. These requirements are over and above any legally-required or regulatory oversight. CEFEX’s continual scrutiny of the firms it certifies helps to promote continuous improvement and accountability.

CEFEX aims to have an investment advisory firm use high-quality financial vehicles in retirement plans and other accounts. CEFEX-certified firms have processes that improve service quality, use a factual approach to help gather information, and use market data to aid decision-making.

Glass Jacobson has been CEFEX-certified since December 2017 and our current certification is valid through the end of 2019 (verifiable on CEFEX’s website). We demonstrate our commitment to our fiduciary duty and to our clients by renewing our CEFEX certification every year.
