Asking the Right Questions
When meeting with a potential financial advisor, James Lukezic suggests asking relevant and curated questions. It's critical potential clients go prepared with questions before they meet with a potential financial advisor. Asking the right questions helps people find an advisor who will meet their needs and financial goals. If the financial advisor doesn't give them the answers they're looking for; it could be a sign, they need to look somewhere else.
Become Familiar with the Different Types of Financial Advisors
James Lukezic recommends people familiarize themselves with the different types of financial advisors. Some financial advisors focus on financial planning, while others do investment management. Investment advisors focus on managing the investments of their clients. Retirement financial advisors, for example, specialize in managing sources of income during retirements such as investments, pensions, and Social Security benefits.
Does the Financial Advisor Have the Credentials?
James Lukezic advises people to verify that potential financial advisors have some of the following credentials: CFP, PFS, or CFA. Getting a reputable financial advisor is one of the most critical steps. James suggests people check the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for any complaints. Even if the financial advisor has the credentials, potential clients need to double-check for complaints against them.
The Compensation Process
James Lukezic recommends people looking for a financial advisor to learn about the compensation process to determine the type of financial advisor they can afford. Most financial advisors are fee-only, but others can also charge on an asset-based fee, hourly fee, or commission fee.
