00:00Most retail brokers operate under a suitability standard that allows them to ignore your best
00:05interests. They are legally permitted to push high-fee products if the investment is considered
00:10to be merely appropriate. Wall Street firms collect back-end kickbacks called revenue
00:16sharing for placing your cash in specific funds. These hidden 12b1 fees drain your
00:22principal balance regardless of if the market goes up or down. While you shoulder every cent
00:27of the market risk, the firm collects a fixed percentage for custody. The system prioritizes
00:34asset-gathering over performance because revenue is disconnected from your actual investment results.
00:40Lobbyists have spent millions fighting to keep this predatory suitability loophole open for the
00:45brokerage houses. Professional wealth managers for the ultra-rich rarely accept these conflicting
00:51commission structures for their own capital.
