Fee Only
Financial FreedomAssociates is a fee only financial planning firm.
What Is A Fee Only Planner?
A Fee Only planner is compensated solely by the client. They do not receive any compensation that is contingent on the purchase or sale of a financial product.
A Fee Only planner may not receive commissions, rebates, awards, finder’s fees, bonuses or any form of compensation from others as a result of a client’s implementation of the individual’s planning recommendations.
Why is Fee Only Compensation of Critical Importance?
A financial planner who has a financial stake in the course of action that he/she recommends to a client faces an inherent conflict of interest and cannot be considered objective and unbiased.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of financial advisors in the United States are sellers of financial products and receive a commission. Some or all of their income may be dependent upon their ability to steer their clients to a limited number of the financial products. These advisors include stock-brokers, analysts, insurance agents, accountants and attorneys, as well as financial planners.
Many of their clients are not aware of their advisors’ dependence on selling products or the total fees they are paying.
