Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a specialist for Retirement Planning?
If you have complex needs related to Retirement Planning, a generalist may not be enough. A specialist brings deep experience with the specific challenges and opportunities in this area, potentially saving you significant time and money.
What questions should I ask a Retirement Planning advisor?
Ask about their specific experience with Retirement Planning cases, their certifications, how they stay current on relevant laws, and for examples of how they've helped clients in similar situations.
How do I choose the right financial advisor?
Look for an advisor who is a fiduciary, meaning they are legally required to act in your best interest. Consider their fee structure (fee-only is often preferred), credentials (like CFP®), and experience with clients in your specific financial situation.
What is the difference between a financial advisor and a financial planner?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but 'Financial Planner' often implies a focus on comprehensive long-term planning (retirement, estate, tax), whereas 'Financial Advisor' may focus more on investment management. Look for the CFP® designation for rigorous planning expertise.
How much does a financial advisor cost?
Costs vary. Fee-only advisors typically charge a percentage of assets under management (often ~1%), an hourly rate ($200-$400/hr), or a flat annual fee. Always ask for a clear explanation of all fees in writing.
