Alex and Ryan continue to discuss McLean’s ADV Part 2. It is the SEC-mandated document that an advisor provides to prospects and to existing clients at least once a year. The ADV Part 2 serves as your user manual for working with your advisor. We use McLean’s ADV to serve as a baseline for these episodes. In this episode, we discuss: 
The types of clients your advisor serves (and whether you fit in).
How to analyze the advisor’s stated method of analysis, investment strategy, and potential for loss.
How to assess if your advisor has had previous securities violations and disciplinary actions.
The listing of areas where potential conflicts of interest may exist and to what degree.
