Quick question to start some discussion:
What's the most confusing or frustrating thing you've experienced in a meeting with a financial advisor?
Was it:
- The jargon they used?
- How they explained their fees?
- The way they dismissed your specific concerns?
- Something else?
I'll start... In my 20 years managing $2B in assets, the most frustrating thing I witnessed was advisors using complex terminology to avoid giving straight answers about fees.
I remember one client telling me, "No wonder he invited me to his son's wedding... I paid for it!" after I explained how much she was really paying in fees.
