See What Your Current Advisor Isn't Showing You

Two accounts. Same balance. Radically different outcomes โ€” because one advisor is legally bound to you, and the other is not.

The fees your current advisor hopes you never add up

Most retirees are paying 2โ€“3% annually in combined fees. At $750,000, that's $15,000โ€“$22,500 leaving your account every year โ€” before any market movement.

Suitability is not the same as loyalty

A broker operating under the 'suitability' standard can legally recommend a product that earns them a commission โ€” as long as it's 'suitable.' A fiduciary cannot. The difference is enforceable in court.

The wealth you built deserves a transfer strategy, not an afterthought

Beneficiary designations override wills. Outdated forms, missing step-up basis elections, and uncoordinated RMDs can cost an estate tens of thousands in avoidable taxes.

This is the projected difference between staying with a suitability-standard advisor and moving to a legally-bound fiduciary โ€” driven entirely by fee structure and compounding, not market performance.

The people who found the gap

"

I handed over my 401k rollover to a broker I'd known for years. After the fee audit, I discovered I was paying 2.1% annually โ€” over $18,000 a year on my balance. Fiduciary found it in the first review.

My husband managed everything. When he passed, I inherited a portfolio I didn't understand and an advisor who couldn't explain the fees. Fiduciary walked me through every line item. I finally feel in control.

My father's quarterly statement showed -3.4% while the S&P was up 11%. I ran the comparison. The hidden 12b-1 fees alone were costing him $9,200 a year. We switched accounts within 30 days.
