The Future of Advice is Fee-Based
June 07, 2023
Many advisors are moving away from commission-based compensation and toward fee-based models.
Beyond the increased transparency and reduced conflicts of interest, there are many reasons that both advisors and clients prefer fee-based models.
Even so, advisors have many questions:
- Will my revenue go down?
- How are my clients going to react?
- How do I price my services?
- Can I start small and scale up?
In The Future of Advice is Fee-Based, we break down these questions and explain why fears about switching to fees can do more harm than good.
