There are a number of considerations individuals, families, and businesses should make when evaluating a potential financial advisor, or to gauge the effectiveness of an existing advisor. To begin, clients should review an advisor’s background. Industry studies have revealed that advisors with a track record of being sued by clients are more likely to be sued by clients in the future. There is no reason to begin a professional relationship with an individual who may prove challenging to work with down the line.
Clients should also be fully aware of what services an advisor does and does not offer, and how much those services cost. Fees, which are more commonly billed as an annual percentage based on client assets, are an important matter to discuss, but it is equally important to ensure that an advisor is capable of meeting a client’s most pressing needs.
Other areas of consideration when evaluating a financial advisor include fee transparency, whether or not the advisor is a fiduciary, and how advisors run in-person client and portfolio reviews, which should occur at least once per year (although quarterly reviews are more common for larger, more complex accounts).
