    The 3 types of financial advisors Three different types of people typically put “financial advisor” on their business cards:
    1. Insurance Sales Representative: They’re required to be licensed to discuss or sell insurance. Their main goal is to sell you life insurance (typically whole life insurance that can be invested and earn dividends and be used for retirement). Is someone who can only sell life insurance acting in your best interest all of the time? How could they be? They make a commission on the insurance product that they sell you.
    2. Registered Representative/Broker-Dealer: They take an exam to be “registered” to sell securities, mutual funds, life insurance policies, etc. They’re paid by commission, much like insurance representatives. Or they’ll recommend a mutual fund where they get a percentage (annual 12B1 fees and more). They’re also not fiduciaries.
    3. Investment Advisor Representative: They must take a securities exam that also covers laws required to act as a fiduciary. An investment advisor is prohibited from collecting commissions. The fees they collect come directly from the client. They can call themselves fee-only representatives.

    I’m a fee-only Investment Advisor Representative. I don’t co-mingle with insurance sales representatives or registered representatives. It removes any conflict of interest. I’m not beholden to any company. I must act in the best interest of my clients. Most financial advisors are dually registered. They may have an insurance or broker license. Listen to find out what questions you have to ask an advisor to find out if they’re strictly an Investment Advisor Representative.

    • One-time planning: A one-time plan may cost you $5,000–$7,000, which you pay once. They deliver the plan and you write them a check. It’s a short-term relationship.
