What to make of Peter Mallouk's sweeping deal with Tony Robbins -- and where the unlikely pairing goes from here

After deliberately relinquishing his cherished anonymity, the CEO of $18-billion AUM is using the Robbins deals as part of a larger charge from the bulrushes

I hope Mallouk told Tony about his insurance company that he uses to sell commission products to his “fiduciary” clients. Also about his law firm which he owns and refers to.

This joker won best fee only firm a couple of years ago and he owns an insurance brokerage… which means he accepted the award fraudulently.

He says he’s going to give the profits from the insurance company to charity. Baloney. He’s going to shift costs to that unit so it doesn’t show profits.

Why doesn't Mallouk just divest his insurance holdings (or not sell them to Creative Planning RIA customers)? It would seem Creative Planning is a big enough deal, and its growth, that it would seem to be worth staying clean.

Ethics from Mallouk's group??? They are like every other RIA in KC whether they have side relationships with others, or not. The ONLY thing they do as promised - is to take their quarterly fee. All the rest is just promises and very hit and miss.
