Description

For more information and show notes visit: https://bwmplanning.com/post/81In this episode, we discuss an interesting situation forming in the financial advisor industry: while client retention rates are high, trust and satisfaction levels are not as impressive. This discrepancy suggests that many clients stay with their advisors despite feeling underserved 📝We explore several reasons why clients might hesitate to switch advisors, including relational ties, pride, and the pure inconvenience of finding a new advisor. We also share personal anecdotes from our experiences, illustrating how some clients remain in subpar relationships due to these factors.To help our listeners navigate this challenging process, we offer practical advice on how to break up with an advisor. Key points include:✅ Adopt the Right Mindset: Remember, it's your money, not your advisor's. You have every right to seek the best possible service for your financial needs.✅ Let the Transfer of Assets (TOAs) Do the Talking: You don't need to inform your advisor before initiating the transfer. This can help avoid uncomfortable conversations and potential guilt-tripping.✅ Communicate Clearly: If you choose to inform your advisor, do so after the transfer has been initiated. Clearly articulate your reasons for the change, whether it's seeking a fiduciary, reducing fees, or finding an advisor with specific expertise.We also dispel the myth that switching advisors will necessarily result in significant tax impacts. Transfers are typically done in-kind, meaning your securities move to the new custodian without immediate tax consequences.Finally, we emphasize the importance of regularly evaluating your advisory relationship to ensure you're receiving the best possible service for the fees you're paying. The stakes are too high to remain in a subpar situation.✅ We hope this episode empowers those of you who feel underserved by your current advisor to take action. As always, we welcome your feedback and ideas for future episodes.
