Understanding Financial Advisor Fee Structures

Financial advisors commonly use a fee structure based on a percentage of assets under management, often around 1%. This fee is charged annually, irrespective of the investment performance. It is crucial to differentiate between fiduciary and non-fiduciary advisors. Fiduciary advisors are legally bound to recommend the best financial products based on clients' needs, do not charge commissions on trades, and generally have lower fees, starting at around 1%.
