Why ACT Advisors’ Move to 100% Fee-Only Advising is a Game-Changer for Our Clients
In December 2023, ACT Advisors made a transformative decision for our business: we transitioned to a 100% fee-only model. This shift was not just a change in our business structure but a reflection of our unwavering commitment to our clients and a clear statement of our values and priorities.
Why 100% Fee-Only?
The financial advisory industry has three basic models: commission-based, fee-based and fee-only models. While all have their advantages, the fee-only approach aligns more closely with our mission and values at ACT Advisors.
In a commission-based or fee-based model, advisors earn money by selling financial products. In a fee-only model like ours, our compensation is directly tied to the services we provide, not the products we sell, allowing us to focus entirely on your unique financial goals.
How This Benefits You
is designed with your best interests in mind. Here’s how it benefits you:
- Transparency and Clarity: You know exactly what you’re paying for and what you’re getting in return. There are no hidden fees or commissions—just clear, straightforward pricing.
- Aligned Interests: Our success is tied to your success. As a fee-only firm, our focus is on helping you grow and protect your wealth over the long term.
- Fiduciary Advice: With no financial incentives to recommend certain products, we offer objective advice tailored to your specific needs and circumstances.
