What should I look for when choosing an investment adviser?
Check whether the adviser’s services match your needs, such as retirement income, 529 plans, estate planning, or asset management. You can also ask about relevant credentials and registrations, including the CFP® designation and FINRA registrations.
How much does financial planning or investment management cost?
The supplied business information does not list fees. Ask whether charges are hourly, flat-fee, asset-based, commission-based, or a combination, and request the costs in writing before opening an account.
What does the financial planning process typically include?
This adviser’s listed process includes an introductory meeting, exploration and preliminary planning, detailed planning, and ongoing support. Ask what information is needed for the initial meeting and how often the plan is reviewed.
