FAQ

How do financial advisors charge for investing help?

Common arrangements include a percentage of assets managed, hourly or flat planning fees, commissions on certain products, or a combination. Ask for the fee schedule and any minimum account size before opening an account.

What should I check before choosing an investment advisor in North Carolina?

Check the advisor's registrations, disciplinary history, and disclosed fees through FINRA BrokerCheck and the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database. Confirm whether the advisor provides the specific services you need, such as retirement or estate planning.

Can an investment advisor help with retirement and college planning together?

Yes, some advisors coordinate retirement planning with 529 college-savings plans, insurance, estate planning, and asset management. Ask how competing goals will be prioritized and what recommendations are included in the planning fee.

How long does it take to open an investment account?

The timing varies by firm, account type, identity verification, and how quickly documents are provided. Ask what paperwork is required and when deposits, transfers, and investment instructions become available.
