Is it worth paying for a financial advisor?
Hiring a financial advisor in Houston, TX can be a time consuming process. We recommend hiring a financial advisor who is a fiduciary and will charge an advisory based fee rather than a commission. When hiring a financial advisor, you want to make sure they will create a financial plan and build a custom investment portfolio that matches your goals. It is worth paying for a financial advisor when you prefer to have a team of experts manage your finances rather than go it alone. Going it alone can prove costly over time, especially if you make a big mistake along the way.

Most fiduciary financial advisors charge between 0.50-1.50% of your assets under management, typically based on how much you have to invest. Stenger Family Office starts most clients at 1.00% per year and negotiates fees lower as your assets grow.
