Finanical Planning’s data partner COMPLY used SEC filings to determine and rank the top 150 RIA firms by client accounts and total assets under management.
To be included on this list, firm have to meet the following criteria:
Simply put, fee-only advice ensures that our success is tied directly to our clients’ success. As a fee-only firm, Plancorp doesn’t receive any commission, referral fees, or other type of kickbacks or hidden compensation.
Clients of fee-only firms are charged one fee, typically a percentage of their total assets under management, for wealth management services. This type of structure builds trust between the client and their firm as there are no incentives to direct how client assets are invested.
Because we receive no compensation from the products we recommend, clients can feel comfortable knowing we are always looking out for them, not focusing on selling commission-based products or other agendas. This ensures that our advice is independent, objective and intended to be in our clients’ best interest.
