Fee-Only Financial Planning

B.E.S.T. Wealth is a fee-only financial planning firm, meaning

we do not sell products or receive any commissions, product fees, referral fees, or kick back fees of any kind!

Instead, we earn money calculated as a percentage of the assets in your investment portfolio. This fee is only for the financial advice and investment management services you receive, NOT for some product that is sold to you!

This compensation model aligns our interests with yours and encourages us to protect—and increase—your investments. As your portfolio grows, we both benefit.

How Some Financial Advisors Earn Their Keep

Some financial planners work on commission, earning money every time they sell a product to you. These planners are often required to achieve quotas which can result in aggressive sales tactics to meet or exceed their targets.

Many of these advisors work for large institutions—banks, investment companies or insurance firms—that manufacture their own products, limiting the investment choices available to you.

Since commission-based advisors focus solely on selling products, they have little incentive to increase the size of your portfolio or to protect your money.

Additionally, this compensation model creates potential conflicts of interest. Commission-based advisors can be tempted to recommend investments to clients simply to earn another commission or meet a sales quota, rather than considering the client’s goals and risk tolerance.

B.E.S.T. Wealth is free of these limitations!

Minimum Investments and Fees Not Required

Our belief is that everyone should have access to financial advice and investment management. As such, you don’t need a minimum amount of investments to work with B.E.S.T., nor will we charge you a minimum fee.  

What you do need though is an open mind about receiving comprehensive financial planning advice.
