Request a clear explanation of how the advisor is compensated—fee-only, commission-based, or a combination.

Discuss their experience with clients in situations similar to yours, whether retirement planning, education savings, or investment management.

Ask for references from existing clients and check any disciplinary history through FINRA BrokerCheck or the SEC.

Ensure the advisor has a written investment policy statement that outlines your goals, risk tolerance, and strategy.

Confirm they offer regular reviews and communication about your portfolio performance and life changes.

Quality signals to look for

Look for advisors who clearly disclose their fee structure upfront and provide written documentation of your investment strategy and goals. Verify that the advisor is registered with the SEC or state regulators and that their credentials are legitimate. Be cautious of advisors who pressure you to make quick decisions, guarantee specific returns, or conduct all business through cash-only transactions without documentation. A professional advisor should be willing to explain their approach in plain language and provide ongoing communication about your account.

What is the difference between a fee-only and commission-based financial advisor?
