Choosing a Financial Planner - Taking Everything into Account

Choosing a Financial Planner

Last time you considered working with a financial planner and stepped back to evaluate your wealth, what did you look at? If you’re like most people, it probably included taking inventory on your savings and checking balances, your investment accounts, your expenses, and other things of monetary value.

You’re not alone. When it comes time for choosing a financial planner, most people get ready to share their numbers right from the get go. What they don’t take into account is that financial planning is more than just a numbers game — and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional is someone who won’t just help you grow your wealth by having a handle on your account balances, but will best become your ally by getting to know more about your personal situation and lifetime goals.

Let’s talk more about what really goes into the relationship between you and your financial planner, what you’ll want to share (and know about them), and where to begin your search for the right planner to add to your team.

What is the difference between fee-only and fee-based financial planners?

Source: What is the difference between a fee-only financial planner and a fee-based financial planner?

This is a question we answer all the time—and it’s important for you to understand the important differences between these two types of financial professionals.

WorthPointe is a fee-only firm, which means we conduct business based on having a fiduciary duty to you, which means by law, we must have your best interest at heart. It also means we have no inherent conflicts of interest, and we don’t accept fees or commissions based on product sales. We provide comprehensive advice based on a percentage of your assets under management.

Contrast that with how fee-based financial planners operate. They may charge fees and commissions based on the products they sell, but because they don’t have a duty to disclose their method of compensation, clients are subject to hidden fees that can dilute their portfolios. This way of conducting business creates an inherent moral hazard, since advisors may be tempted to suggest products that will result in them earning high commissions—but may not be right for you.
