Understanding How Your Financial Advisor Gets Paid

Knowing how your financial advisor is compensated is crucial to ensuring you're receiving unbiased advice. Commissioned advisors earn income through transactions, which can create a bias towards activity-based recommendations. Conversely, fee-based advisors may charge management fees but can also earn commissions from the products they sell, leading to potential conflicts of interest. On the other hand, fee-only advisors are compensated solely for their advice and ongoing management, aligning their interests with yours. Understanding these compensation structures empowers you to choose the right advisor.
