Some benefits of working with a fee-only financial advisor are that you can trust they are unbiased in their advice, they have a fiduciary duty to you, and they aren’t incentivized to sell non-ideal financial products because since they never receive commissions or kickbacks for sales of certain products. Instead, fee-only advisors most often charge a small percentage (around 1%-1.5%) of assets under management. With advisor-client interests aligned, a fee-only advisor is free to make the best recommendations for your unique situation.
