How does McClellan Wealth Management get paid for services?
Transparency is key at McClellan Wealth Management. When choosing a financial planner, you put your future and your family’s financial well-being on the line. You may want to consider whether the advisor is held to a fiduciary standard of care.
An investment advisor should act in your best interest. SEC-registered advisors are fee-based and should not charge commissions. These arrangements are typically more transparent and leave less room for conflict of interest.
Our relationships with our clients are all fiduciary in nature.
An advisor who is registered with a broker-dealer as an investment advisor representative generally works for commissions. This means they may have the incentive to make suggestions based on how much commission they may make.
What are the benefits of a fiduciary financial advisor?
The main benefit of an investment advisor representative is that they are held to a fiduciary standard of care to act in their client’s best interest.
Though registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission does not imply any level of skill or training, registered financial advisors are regulated, and advisors may be penalized for violating their standards or rules. (An advisor may only be registered in a particular state or not at all versus the SEC, but the same rules apply.)
Under the duty loyalty, an investment advisor must eliminate or fully disclose all conflicts of interest that might incline an investment advisor – consciously or unconsciously – to render advice that is not disinterested such that a client can provide informed consent to the conflict.
