What Is the True Value of Working With a Financial
Advisor?

Are you aware of the potential impact working with a financial advisor could
have on your financial future?

Released in November 2024, SmartAsset's exclusive research model aims to quantify the value of working with a financial advisor by using assumptions that may most accurately reflect reality for the majority of investors.

SmartAsset's new proprietary model reveals:

After accounting for inflation (2.56%) and fees (1% or 0.75%), real annual
rates of return for those with advisors are estimated to earn an annual
premium of 2.39% to 2.78% of net worth over those without an advisor.¹
Working with a financial advisor could potentially add 36% to 212% moredollar value to investors' portfolios over a lifetime, depending on multiple unique, individual factors.¹

To help investors get the financial expertise they may be seeking, SmartAsset created a free, five-minute tool that makes it easy to get matched with up to three vetted financial advisors serving your area, each legally bound to work in your best interest. Learn more.

This is a hypothetical [1] example and is not representative of any specific security. Actual results when working with a financial advisor will vary.

This is not an offer to buy or sell any security or interest. All investing involves risk, including loss of principal.
Working with an adviser may come with potential downsides, such as payment of fees (which will reduce
returns). Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There are no guarantees that working with an
adviser will yield positive returns. The existence of a fiduciary duty does not prevent the rise of potential
conflicts of interest.
