How Does Your Financial Advisor Get Paid?

from Money Mentors Hosted by Laurel Steward

You’ve worked hard to build your retirement savings, but are hidden fees slowly eating away at the wealth you’ve accumulated? On this week’s episode, Laurel Steward of Mattson Financial Services breaks down the often-overlooked costs buried inside retirement accounts, mutual funds, and investment strategies that can quietly cost high net worth retirees thousands of dollars every year. We’ll discuss why even small percentage fees can have a massive long-term impact on your retirement income and legacy, how to evaluate whether you’re truly getting value for the fees you pay, and the questions every investor should be asking their advisor right now. Plus, we’ll explore how taxes, charitable giving strategies, and smart portfolio management all work together to help affluent retirees keep more of what they’ve earned - both for themselves and for the next generation. If protecting your nest egg is just as important as growing it, this episode will help you uncover the costs that may be hiding in plain sight.
