The other important thing for the investor to do is understand the manner in which the investors are compensated
. Financial advisors can be paid as based on a commission, based on a fee, on fee only or a combination of the three. A trustworthy financial advisor will give adequate and clear details of all the types of fees that the investor need to pay, as well as all the expenses in relation to any type of investments they make. It is recommended that the investor seek those who are geared towards independence because they will be willing to give them a worthy piece of advice and services, based on the goals of the investor.
