Howard Bailey Fee Philosophy

Reasonable

We don’t claim to offer the cheapest rates in the financial advisory industry, and that’s a good thing. When it comes to your money, you don’t want cut-rate advice or services. What we do provide is money management and value-added service at a reasonable rate that is often much lower than expected.

Competitive

Many advisors assess an assortment of fees and layered charges, plus commissions on products offered. At Howard Bailey Financial, our fee schedule is simple – it’s based solely on the value of YOUR assets that we manage.

Transparent

You will know the advisory fee you’ll be charged in advance of opening an account with Howard Bailey Financial, and each year thereafter as you continue to work with our firm. It will be clear and easy to understand. No surprises, no hidden costs or amounts, no need to worry that you are paying too much for the financial management we will provide regarding your portfolio.

Your Interest Comes First

Advisors often say their interests are aligned with that of their clients. But many advisors do well financially regardless of the performance of their client’s portfolio. As a fee-based advisory service, our fee structure ensures that what you are charged remains aligned with the value of your portfolio…Period!

We Encourage You to Ask Questions and Compare

When it comes to your money, you should expect transparency and full disclosure regarding how the financial team you work with is compensated. A fee-based advisory service should be just that – compensation based solely on the value of the assets they manage for you.

There are some who will take risks within your portfolio that don’t align with your risk profile. While this might drive increased returns over the short term, profiting them, it can place you and your portfolio at serious risk that you are unaware of, don’t want, and can’t afford.


To avoid issues and ensure you know exactly what to expect and will be charged, we suggest asking a few questions of any financial advisor you currently work with or are considering. Feel free to ask us these questions as well. Our approach is complete transparency, so we’re happy to answer them and all others you might have.
