The Truth Behind The Financial Advisor Industry

In this episode, Brad Johnson explains how the financial advice industry actually works behind the scenes. He breaks down how most advisors are paid, where conflicts of interest can appear, and why many portfolios still rely on outdated strategies like the traditional 60/40 stock and bond allocation. Brad also shares how Evergreen Capital approaches investing differently, with a focus on income-producing assets, private markets, and fee structures designed to better align incentives with clients.
