OUR SERVICES

Sidebar Advisors is powered by Mariner, allowing us to leverage the expertise of seasoned professionals in tax, trust, estate planning, investments, retirement planning, and insurance. Additionally, Mariner’s support in technology, compliance, and operations allows us to focus more on what truly matters—building strong, lasting relationships with you.

*Mariner is certified by The Center for Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX) as meeting the standards described in the handbook “Prudent Practices for Investment Advisors.” The standard describes how an investment adviser assumes the responsibility for managing a client’s overall investment management process, which includes the selection, monitoring, and de-selection of investment managers, as well as developing processes to implement investment strategies and fiduciary practices on an ongoing basis. These practices also include maintaining a fiduciary checklist for each client to ensure proper fiduciary governance and compliance with ERISA and implementing best practices as described by the Department of Labor. 

Investment advisory services are offered through Mariner Platform Solutions (MPS); affiliates of MPS may provide other services listed and they may be subject to additional fees. Some advisors are licensed insurance agents and may be compensated for selling insurance-related products through an affiliated or unaffiliated insurance agency.  

Asset allocation, diversification and other investment strategies cannot ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal.  There is no guarantee that any investment or planning strategy will be successful.
