How we vet our advisors

We set the bar high so you can choose with confidence.

Our multi-step vetting process ensures every financial advisor in our network meets the highest bar for credentials, ethics, and environmental commitment.

Our advisor vetting standards

Regulatory compliance & credentials

Every advisor undergoes SEC filing reviews for both the individual and their firm. We also review all professional licenses and registrations.

Background checks

We conduct thorough background checks before any advisor joins our network. If something's off, they don't make the cut.

Proven expertise

Our advisors aren't new to this. Most bring 18+ years of experience managing client portfolios and navigating real market conditions, not just hypotheticals in textbooks.

Fiduciary responsibility

Every advisor in our network is held to fiduciary standards, meaning they are legally and ethically required to put your interests first — always. You’ll receive advice that's right for you.

Climate focus

We conduct a detailed review of each advisor's climate frameworks and investment philosophy, examining how their commitments actually show up in the portfolios they manage. Caring about climate can't just be a marketing claim.

Exceptional service

Beyond credentials, we evaluate advisors for professionalism and communication style. You deserve an advisor who is respectful, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with.
