Personal Finance and Investing

The Foundation for Fiduciary Education is a true 501c nonprofit dedicated to financial education and is unaffiliated with any investment firm, broker/dealer, or insurance company. FFE doesn’t sell or endorse any products, company, investments, insurance, etc. They provide various educational seminars on subjects such as Social Security, Long Term Care planning, Estate Planning, Medicare planning, etc. The classes are taught by various local financial professionals, all volunteers, with specific designations and training.
Absolutely no selling or product pitches are allowed or provided during the classes and that prohibition is clearly detailed in their literature and in the materials used for classes. The instructor can offer a follow-up meeting at a later date for anyone interested, but that is outside the scope of FFE, and again, that is fully disclosed in all FFE literature and presentations.
If someone had an issue with a financial rep, or the reps broker/dealer, they met through an FFE class, that is unrelated to and outside the scope of FFE and its educational classes. Local instructors are all independent from each other and come from a range of different financial backgrounds and firms. Some are accountants, some lawyers, some insurance sales, financial planners, investment advisors, etc.
Someone may have had an issue with a local instructor's broker/dealer, but that should not represent FFE or the hundreds of other independent professionals providing educational services through a legitimate educational nonprofit.
