Frequently Asked Questions — Financial Advisors in Des Moines
What is a fiduciary financial advisor and why does it matter in Des Moines?
A fiduciary is legally required to act in your interest at all times. Non-fiduciary advisors (like some broker-dealers) only need to recommend "suitable" products, which may earn them higher commissions. Before hiring any financial advisor in Des Moines, ask directly: "Are you a fiduciary 100% of the time?" If they hesitate, keep looking.
How do I verify a financial advisor is registered and legitimate?
Use FINRA BrokerCheck (finra.org/brokercheck) to verify licenses and check for complaints or disciplinary actions. For Registered Investment Advisors, search SEC's IAPD at adviserinfo.sec.gov. CFP credentials can be verified at cfp.net/verify. These are free public tools — always check before handing over your finances.
How do financial advisors charge for their services in Des Moines?
Three main structures: (1) Fee-only — flat fee, hourly ($200–$500/hr), or a percentage of assets under management (typically 0.5–1.5% annually) with no commissions; (2) Fee-based — advisory fee plus commissions on products they sell; (3) Commission-only — free to meet, they earn commissions on products. Fee-only is the most transparent and avoids conflicts of interest.
What credentials should I look for in a financial advisor?
CFP (Certified Financial Planner) is the gold standard for comprehensive financial planning. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is strongest for investment management. CPWA, ChFC, and RICP are recognized specializations. Avoid "advisor" titles without credentials — the term is unregulated. Verify any credential directly with the issuing organization.
