Do you know how your Investment Advisor is compensated?

The investment advisor field consists of a variety of professionals. Some strictly analyze and manage portfolios, while others are involved in more aspects of the client’s financial life such as real estate, retirement, and tax planning. Some of these professionals are “fee-only” (or fee-based), where they charge a flat rate for their advisory services. Others are commission-based, where they collect commissions on financial transactions or products. However, some financial institutions are known to not only have an advisory fee but also collect commissions on certain financial products or funds they offer to their clients.

In 2016, the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Fiduciary Rule mandated that all professionals managing or advising retirement accounts, such as IRA’s and 401(k)s, must comply with a fiduciary standard. This conduct involved being honest about compensation and recommendations, charging reasonable rates, and always putting the clients’ best interests first. The intention for this rule was to ensure advisors were never running contrary to their client’s risk tolerance or objectives and would be held criminally liable if they violated this rule. Fee-based Registered Investment Advisors were already required to be fiduciaries. Commission-based advisors such as brokers were not. To complicate things further, some commission-based advisors can also be fiduciaries as long as they follow the suitability rule for their clients. This means they can sell any products they believe suit their clients’ situation and objective, but the measure of suitability is quite subjective.

The DOL’s Fiduciary Rule was never fully implemented and then rescinded in 2018. However, this still begs the question about an advisor’s conflict of interest if they collect commissions on certain financial products. At Fogel Capital Management, Inc., we are Fiduciaries. We do not collect commissions and are not incentivized to buy or sell any certain security over the other. Our goal as Fiduciaries is to create a portfolio that meets the individual client’s objectives and needs. As an investor, it is important to do your research and find an advisor that is transparent about their fee structure and that is geared toward your goals and risk tolerance.

    Hello! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website like yours require
    a lot of work? I am completely new to writing
    a blog however I do write in my diary everyday.

    I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and feelings online.

    Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring
    bloggers. Appreciate it!

    Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
    Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great photos
    or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could undeniably be one of the best in its niche.
    Excellent blog!

    Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d
    figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
    My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly
    benefit from each other. If you’re interested feel free to
    shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Great blog by the way!

    First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which
    I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
    clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my
    mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do
    enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?
    Thanks!
