There are plenty of FPs who are unwilling (or, even scarier, unable) to teach clients about where their money is going and allow them to make an informed choice. Going with an FO like that will rarely lead to success, or a good relationship. I prefer the insurance of having someone who has that "heart of a teacher," as that will allow for a better and more successful relationship over time. Great points!
