Jim Oliver started his career as a fee-based and full-service financial advisor after graduating from college. He spent 15 years in this role, providing financial advice and acting as a financial babysitter for his clients. One day, he received a notification from one of the platforms he was using, claiming that his clients had earned 9.38% returns over a certain period. However, upon further investigation, Jim realized that despite having $700,000,000 under management, his own investments hadn't seen the same increase. He meticulously analyzed the numbers, factoring in fees, expenses, and taxes, and discovered that his actual returns were only around 4%. This revelation sparked a realization within Jim, leading him to question the traditional financial advisory model.
