To financial advisory firms: A list of words to avoid on Twitter

From the good people at Putnam Investments, a list of words not to use on Twitter lest you — and your company — come under unwanted regulatory scrutiny.

We’re talking specifically financial advisory firms on social media here, but you never know — a word to the wise and all that.

Stay away from saying things like “innacurate” or “incomplete.” “Loophole” is bad. Also, “circumvent” and “overcharge.”

So now you know.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible.
