I would avoid any service that charges 0.8% in fees — that’s a big drag over time.
Wife is an FA at Morgan Stanley managing over $250M. A lot of her clients use one of the four portfolio managers that she works with and this year one of those managers is up 39%. Not sure how old you are but if you’re younger than 50, you’re leaving a ton of money on the table settling with 5-6%.
Most clients are older and wealthy so they’re diversified. Maybe 20% tops goes to a fund mgr. Don’t know what others are earning.
0.8% is a pretty huge fee for a very average return

Like I said... 🤣
(1) is it worth to be a private client?
(2) what is the average return on that $4K investment

Interested in this too.
What are the features that stand out for you?
I think Schwab has low cost access to a pool of CFPs, plus robo-portfolio functionality. I’ve always told myself I’ll do this if I feel like I need it.
Note that many of the people in this bowl are highly engaged, DIYers so this might be a controversial topic given the fees. :-)

This sounds like a good idea *IF* you’re older and risk averse, whose primary investment goal is wealth preservation with modest growth as a plus. Or if you’re just in general very risk averse, whatever your age.
But if you want to see that money grow into an eight figure portfolio by the time you want to retire, this won’t get you there. Investing in low fee index funds, that will of course rise *and* fall with the market, will be much more likely to maximize your investment potential.
There is fiduciary term for investment managers
Thanks A2. I’m 45 with one Kid in out of state college burning about 55K per year and second soon to be I college in 2 years. I am pretty conservative. Like everyone else here - a first generation immigrant who grew from $50 landed to today $3M net-worth in 20 years. So take extra caution with the money having seen 2002, 2008 and now!!
Yes. Open to flat fee advisor. Looking past quacks... the there’s so many who sweet talk you into it, with little tangible value to show.
