Congrats! You have done your homework and recognize the benefit of working with a Fee-Only Financial Planner. Now, you need to decide which advisors to interview from the list provided by NAPFA. I think it is safe to say you will be well served by anyone on this list. So, how do you choose which advisor to interview and ultimately work with?
The advisors on this list have multiple things in common and a few differences.
We all subscribe to the Fee-Only model. We are all held to a Fiduciary Standard.
The primary differences are how we are paid, whether we insist (or expect) ongoing investment management and whether we have an account minimum.
We base all fees (financial planning and investment management) on an hourly rate rather than a percentage of assets under management (AUM). We believe financial planning and investment management compliment each other, but do not insist on managing your portfolio in order to provide a financial plan review. Because of the hourly model, we do not have an account minimum in place. Approximately 50% of clients who complete a financial plan with us continue to self-manage their investments.
