Some financial advisors cannot be trusted, they will take money from older single professionals, investors and falsely claim that the investment belongs to the sugar baby/girlfriend of top government employees to bribe the powerful government employees.

Not all financial advisors can be trusted, afterall they are also humans. Some of them do not actually want you to excel more than them.

There are some financial advisors who are not transparent. They are not honest about the hidden fees, etc.

Financial advisors are professionals, they're protecting their reputations that's why they're always transparent. If they ask more than we expect, we can ask for a discount. They will grant our request.

It is rare for individuals to need a financial advisor, except for those who have complex and long-term personal financial problems. Of course you can trust a financial advisor, because they work and have a business license which is not easy to obtain, besides their role (financial advisor) is only a financial matter, not in the form of physical money or investment instruments. and they also do not endorse certain instruments.
