Registered Fiduciary | Held to the Highest Standard of Care in Financial Services
Not All Advisors Are
Held to the Same Standard
Fiduciary Standard (RIA)
Our Standard
Must always act in the client’s best interest. Full disclosure of conflicts. Continuous obligation. The highest legal duty of care in financial services.
Suitability Standard
Broker-Dealer Standard
Only recommend investments that are “suitable” for the client, a lower bar that allows recommendations that benefit the advisor over the client.
THE 10 PILLARS
Our Fiduciary Commitments
These are not aspirational values — they are legally binding obligations we uphold for every client, every day.
What This Means For You
In practical terms, working with an SEC-registered fiduciary means you can expect the following from every interaction with Barrett Wealth Group.
Advice You Can Trust
Every recommendation is made because it’s genuinely right for you — not because it generates a higher commission or fee for us.
A Plan Built Around Your Life
Your financial plan reflects your unique situation, values, goals, and risk tolerance — not a template designed for the average client.
Legal Protection
As an SEC-registered fiduciary, Tim is held to a legally enforceable standard — giving you recourse and regulatory oversight protecting your interests.
No Hidden Agendas
All compensation arrangements are disclosed upfront and in writing. You always know exactly how we are paid and why.
Long-Term Accountability
Our obligation to you doesn’t end at signing. We are accountable for the ongoing performance and appropriateness of your plan as your life evolves.
Peace of Mind
Knowing your advisor is legally required to put you first — every time — removes a layer of uncertainty and lets you focus on what matters most.
Transparency by Law
Required Disclosure: Form ADV:
Our Required Disclosure
As an SEC-registered investment advisor, Barrett Wealth Group is required by law to provide all clients with Form ADV — a detailed document that discloses our business practices, services offered, fee structures, disciplinary history, and any potential conflicts of interest.
This isn’t just a legal formality. It’s a tool designed to give you full transparency and the information you need to make an informed decision about who you trust with your financial future.
What Form ADV Includes
Form ADV covers our advisory services and fees, types of clients we serve, investment strategies and methods of analysis, disciplinary history, other business activities and affiliations, and a full accounting of all material conflicts of interest. It is filed with the SEC and publicly available — because we have nothing to hide.
You've spent a lifetime building your wealth.
You deserve an advisor who is legally required
to put your interests first — every single time.
