What this helps you answer

  • “Am I paying a fair dollar fee for what I’m getting?”
  • “Is my risk and rebalancing policy documented and followed?”
  • “Are there tax or concentration issues I should fix next?”

For fee context in dollars, start with the Advisor Fee Calculator, the 10-Year Comparison, and the financial advisor fees by portfolio size guide, then use the advisor proposal scorecard and advisor contract checklist before you ask for a second opinion.
