FAQ
Financial advisors guide their clients in a variety of ways including retirement planning, wealth management and advice on a range of topics. This can include: basic budgeting, setting short and long-term financial goals, reviewing potential insurance needs, and comprehensive financial planning.
A fee-only advisor is paid directly by his/her clients and does not receive commissions for products sold. Fee-only financial advisors act as fiduciaries. A fee-based financial advisor is paid by the clients, but can also receive commissions for financial products the client purchases. Fee-based financial advisors are required to only recommend products that are suitable for their clients.
