Default financial advisors

Basically advisors get paid one of three ways, fee for serivce, assets under management, or a commission on what ever they sell you. You can ask upfront how they are compensated for their advise. Alot of people like the assests under management because it ties your advisor to your account. If the assest go up the advisor gets a pay raise it the assets decline he gets a pay cut. The better that you do the better the advisor does. The advisor has a vested interest in your account. You should meet with your advisor at a minimum of once a year, more frrquently at the start. Most assests under management programs allow you to change from fund to fund without additional charges.
