WHY DO ADVISORS CHARGE SO MUCH

A retirement investor with a $1,000,000 account will pay a Financial Advisor over $10,000 per year to manage their investments. That is a lot of money.
If the Advisor were able to generate excellent investment results, that fee would be well worth it.
But the sad truth is that Financial Advisors are not highly skilled investors. They are financial generalists that simply follow the plain vanilla investing advice pushed by the investment services industry. They put you in “cookie-cutter” portfolios that only earn about 7% per year.
You could get the same results by investing in a Target Date fund with a mix of stocks funds and bond funds. And you would save yourself $10,000 every year.
Financial Advisors are good people who can help you with financial planning, tax planning, estate planning and complex financial transactions. But the business model for Advisors is supported by investment fees that are based on a percentage of your total investment assets.
Adding insult to injury, Financial Advisors don’t have any effective ways to protect your savings against big losses in stock market meltdowns. You are forced to settle for mediocre investing results and the risk of getting crushed in bear markets. The standard advice from financial advisors for surviving bear markets is simply to just “hang in there” and “ride it out”.
This is a lousy deal for retirement investors.
It is also why at any point in time roughly 40% of people who work with Financial Advisors are looking to change Advisors. People change advisors more frequently than they change the tires on their cars. Unfortunately, they end up getting more of the same and they don’t ever solve the problem.
Fortunately, there are much better investment options for people over 60 that can provide the growth you need AND protect your life savings against big losses in bear markets.
