At Fidelity, we focus on doing what’s right for our clients. That means taking the time and effort to connect with clients so we can help them reach their financial goals. Being a private company gives us the space to do that—while ensuring our financial advisors have the support they need to build lasting client relationships.

In this article, we’ll break down what Fidelity’s client-first approach means and how we help financial advisors put it into practice.

Fidelity always has a client-first mentality

A key part of Fidelity’s philosophy is that we always put our clients’ best interests first. We’re here to make a meaningful difference in our clients’ lives, so we focus on what’s best for them, not just our bottom line.

“Fidelity does the best job of putting the client first. Everything we look at is through a client-first lens,” says Joe, a financial consultant at Fidelity.

We understand it’s not just about the client, it’s about their family, their priorities, and the people and interests that matter most to them. If our clients care, we care. Offering the right financial solutions is just the tip of the iceberg. We take the time to understand what truly matters to each client because every person’s goals and needs are unique.

As part of that approach, we listen to what our clients want and how they want to be treated. That’s why Fidelity is guided by these five client commitments:

Be warm and approachable
Eliminate the feeling of being sold to
Use jargon-free language, and lead with planning
Make the best use of our clients’ time
Clients want to work with someone who knows, understands, and cares about them and the needs of their families

We ensure that anyone can walk into a Fidelity office or call our team and get the help and experience we’re proud of—100% of the time. That consistency builds trust and helps you become your clients’ primary financial advisor. You’ll never have to compromise your integrity by pushing products or services that don’t make sense for your client.

“At Fidelity, you’re focused on the customer. You have their best interests in mind,” says Gabriella, a customer support specialist at Fidelity.

Fidelity is a private company, so we’re not tied to quarterly earnings like publicly traded firms. That allows us to take a multi-year planning approach, prioritizing long-term opportunities over short-term results.

“Because we’re a private company, we're not competing with shareholders for what’s in people’s best interests,” says Helen, a financial consultant at Fidelity.

As a financial advisor, you’re not focused on hitting sales quotas. Instead, you have the space and support to do what’s best for your clients. Your goals are built around client satisfaction. By meeting clients where they are, we help more people reach their financial goals and build lasting relationships with them and their families.

We provide the support and resources you need to be client-first

To make this a true client-first financial advisor job, you’ll have the tools and resources you need and a full team behind you. For financial advisor jobs at Fidelity, this includes subject matter experts who can help you navigate specific client questions and their complex needs, plus planning partners and service support associates to provide more support.

Along with an extensive support team, we’ve invested in technology to make it easy for you to manage a big book of business while still offering personalized service.

We also start you off with high-end training through the Advisor Academy. Our training is built to help you grow your skills and confidence.
