WiserAdvisor provides referrals to financial professionals. WiserAdvisor is not a current client of advisor or advisory services. Financial professionals pay cash compensation for these referrals, which creates the incentive for WiserAdvisor to make these referrals, resulting in a conflict of interest. WiserAdvisor is a promoter for Financial Engines Advisors L.L.C. (Edelman Financial Engines), a federally registered investment adviser. As a promoter, WiserAdvisor may share with Edelman Financial Engines your contact and other personal information to facilitate your introduction as a prospective client. WiserAdvisor is not a client, agent, representative or affiliate of Edelman Financial Engines. WiserAdvisor receives a referral fee from Edelman Financial Engines in exchange for each prospective client WiserAdvisor provides to Edelman Financial Engines. This referral fee is paid by Edelman Financial Engines and will not be passed on to you.
