Choosing a financial advisor can feel intimidating. How do you know whether you can trust someone to handle your investments? You may feel that you don’t even know where to begin to assess whether a financial advisor is a good fit.

There are four key questions that can help you determine whether a particular firm, and a specific advisor, is the right match for your goals:

How do you determine your charges for services? Consider asking whether advisors with a particular firm are paid based on commission. An investment advisor who is a fiduciary has an ethical duty to recommend the best investments for you.

What can I expect from my financial advisor? When you choose a financial advisor, you may wonder how they will approach the relationship and what you can expect in terms of communication and planning.

Lawson Kroeker’s approach is simple, but critical: as fiduciaries, we always make decisions that are solely for your benefit, and we take time to carefully contemplate how an investment might affect your portfolio. Each investment is vetted through a four-step assessment process that determines whether it is a good fit based on lasting value and high-quality stocks.
