Clients Trust CPAs More Than Doctors

John Hancock Trust conducted a survey that revealed investors who have assets over $200,000 trust their financial advisor more than they trust their doctors, accountants, contractors, bosses, and real estate agents. Survey participants said they trust their advisors because they are knowledgeable about products and trends.  Participants lose trust in their advisors when they are difficult to contact, unresponsive, or give bad investment advice.
