The Benefits of Fee-Based and Fee-Only Advisory Models

In the past, commission-based models were the norm, but things are changing more and more. Boneparth, who has investigated both fee-based and fee-only models, advises carefully considering your options before making a decision.
Boneparth used to be a fee-based advisor who also offered insurance, but he decided to change to a fee-only model because he thought it would be best for his clients and help him grow in the future. However, careful consideration was required in making the choice. Prior to concerns regarding revenue, I was more concerned about: Do I intend to reduce the level of service I offer to my customers? Knowing that we could handle insurance requirements for our clients without them having to go through a third-party agency was a value proposition generator, even though it did not generate revenue, according to Boneparth. I had to say goodbye to that because I believed fee-only membership had much more value.
