It is a sign of the times that I spent some time thinking about whether the title of my post would offend some people, as sexist or worse. I briefly considering expanding the title to "Sugar Daddies and Molasses Mommies", but that just sounds awkward, or even replacing the words with something gender neutral, like "Glucose Guardians", but very quickly passed on the idea, deciding to stay with my initial title.

As fiduciaries, financial advisors are required to disclose any conflicts of interest that exist between themselves and their current and potential clients. The conflicts themselves can range from compensation models that impact how much money an advisor might earn as the result of a recommendation (such as specific product recommendations for advisors compensated on commission and 401(k) plan rollover recommendations for AUM-based advisors) to less direct conflicts such as 'soft dollar' benefit

Oil-dependent Baku seemed like an odd choice to host COP29. But the economy is betting heavily on developing a renewables sector. Ilham Aliyev, the 62-year-old president of Azerbaijan, should be feeling pretty content. Being chosen to head the COP29 Summit in Baku, attended by over 190 countries, is a big honor. It is also controversial; Azerbaijan is the second petrostate in a row to host COP following Dubai in the United Arab Emirates last year, and the summit president will be Aliyev’s natura

For many years, the traditional career track for financial advisors has been an 'eat what you kill' model – where advisors must independently find, convert, and manage their own clients. As such, it isn't uncommon for an advisor's first few years to be characterized by long hours, high rejection rates, and low pay. For many, this can be a stressfully prolonged period that typically eases only as advisors build their client base and establish themselves in the industry.
