Just passed the 66 and am looking to provide fee base business to clients who would benefit.



What is the Rule of Thumb for Fee Base business? Who would benefit and when should it be offered? How is this better than commission? When would one offer Managed Accounts? I am trying to get my arms around this. Thought there might be a Rule of Thumb…

It's great for the chump who falls for the "this puts us both on the same side of the table" line.

Many Clients Prefer A Fee Based Account Because They Don't Like To Purchase Investments With A High Up Front Cost, Or A Long Surrendur Charge Schedule.

Too, Being Compensated By Fees Tends To Mitigate Some Conflicts Of Interest.

Many Advisors Also Like to Be Compensated This Way Because It Results In More Consistent Income.  And, As Their Clients' Accounts Grow, Their Income Grows Too!

This Type Of Pricing Tends To Appeal To More Sophisticated Clients.  So, You Might Want To Learn The Grammatical Rules As To Which Words Should Be Capitalized So When You Write Them Letters You Don't Look Like An Uneducated Idiot.

Pass as you go.  Managed Money is good for everyone, except the do-it-yourselfers.
