In this episode, we dive into the real worth of a financial advisor. If they're only offering investment management or just lightly touching upon financial planning, is that 1% fee justifiable? Then Devin and John talk about the evolution of how compensation for advice has changed – from its commission-based roots to percentage-based asset management fees, and now, towards the emerging trend of flat fee charges.
