The short answer? Yes — and no.
Let me explain.
First, forget the labels: financial adviser, wealth manager, financial planner, relationship manager, private banker… The industry throws around so many titles that it becomes almost impossible to tell them apart. So don’t get too caught up in what someone calls themselves.
Instead, focus on you.
What do you want?
That’s the real question. Not what they offer. Not how they describe their services. You need to be clear about what you want help with.
And if you’re thinking, “But I don’t really know what I want — or what questions I should even be asking,” that’s totally fine. Most people don’t. The important thing is to start somewhere. Think it through. Write it down if it helps. Begin to define — as best you can — what matters to you.
Because once you start to understand that, you can begin to ask better questions. You can compare different approaches. And, most importantly, you can start to find people who genuinely help you move towards what’s important.
It’s not about them. It’s about you.
