How much am I paying ​my
existing advisor?

How much does my portfolio cost?

Chances are, if you have your money invested anywhere on Wall Street, you are paying a cost or fee. In the “risk” world, you can’t escape fees. 
  • Management fees
  • 12B-1 fees
  • Administrative fees
  • Expense ratios
  • Turnover cost
Where does it end? 
The “safe” stuff is a bit more transparent. In most cases, you have to dig deep within your prospectus or account statements to find out just exactly what you are actually paying for for the advisor to hold your investments.

Unfortunately for you, most advisors and brokers do not have to fully disclose the fees you are paying.

Fiduciary vs. Suitability

In the Wall Street world, nothing is free. You cannot invest your money in something without paying a fee.

However, there is a measure you can take to understand your cost a bit more. Is your broker or advisor a "Fiduciary"? 

Fiduciary advisors are held to the highest ethical standard in the advisory sector. Being a “Fiduciary” means that you have to put the client’s best interests before your own, bar none, BY LAW.

​Most advisors and brokers are held only to a “Suitability” standard, which means the products or services recommended need to be “suitable” for you.

But, that does not mean they are being recommended to you because they are the best option.

Are you receiving "value"?

At Birdseye Financial, we know that fees are a part of investing in "risk" money. By taking alternative investing paths and using lower cost vehicles, you can lower your fees to a certain extent. 

There are also "safe" investment options that offer little to no cost to you. When investing in "risk", you need to understand whether or not you are receiving value for the fee you are paying. 


The first step is to determine what you are actually paying.

​That's where our Investment Fee Discovery comes in to play.
