Important Advisory Information: Federal regulations require that Form CRS be delivered to retail investors before or at the time an investment advisory relationship is established. We strongly encourage all clients and prospects to read this concise breakdown carefully to verify that our relationship framework meets your specific standard of care.
Form CRS (Client Relationship Summary) is a highly structured, relationship-focused disclosure document mandated by the SEC for both broker-dealers and registered investment advisers. It is intentionally limited to a concise format to provide investors with clear, straightforward answers regarding relationship types, operational costs, and the specific standards of legal conduct that govern a firm's advice.
Form CRS is designed to quickly demystify the financial advisory process and facilitate clean comparisons across different firms. It provides an explicit overview of the discretionary wealth management and comprehensive planning services we offer at Sierra Crest Advisors, alongside clear explanations of our fee-only structure and structural costs. Furthermore, it outlines our legal requirements under the fiduciary standard, explicitly lists our disciplinary history (if any), and offers prescriptive "Conversation Starters" you can use to directly interview our advisors regarding conflicts, services, and structural protections.
